The Eastern Regional Health Authority (ERHA) was given overall responsibility for the former health board functional area, but the provision of services was delegated to three area health boards. These area health boards were; the Northern Area Health Board (NAHB), East Coast Area Health Board (ECAHB) and the South-Western Area Health Board (SWAHB).
