The Executive ceased to exist on 1 April 2002 when 4 Regional Directorates of Health and Social Care were established and the central functions were reabsorbed into the Department of Health.
The Information Management Group (IMG) was part of the NHS Executive made up jointly of civil servants and NHS staff.
The IMG formed part of the Human and Corporate Resources Directorate, represented on the NHS Executive Board by Ken Jarrold.
One of their key objectives was to promote and implement the NHS Executive's national Information Management and Technology (IM&T) Strategy.
The IMG worked with other parts of the NHS Executive and the wider Department of Health to identify and secure the information technology implications of national policy initiatives.
