The Board of NHS County Durham is made up of 13 executive members and non-executive directors. Non-executive directors (lay people) must always be in the majority on the Board. This is a government ruling to ensure that the executive directors are held to account for services they deliver by members of the public.

Non-executive directors bring to the Board their experience of living in the area, coupled with abilities to work at board level. Each one has a different area of professional expertise.

The NHS County Durham Board ensures that NHS County Durham is held accountable for the services delivered to members of the public.
