In January 2011, the Office of the Long Term Care Ombudsman transferred from the Division of Services for Aging and Adults with Physical Disabilities (DSAAPD) to the Delaware Health and Social Services Office of the Secretary. These amendments reflect the change by substituting the Department of Health and Social Services for DSAAPD where it is incorrect and removes the reference to the Public Guardian in the Advance Health Care Directive statute because that office does not have patient advocates or ombudsmen.
