List of Primary Care Trusts in England
Encyclopedia
During 2006 all Primary Care Trust
s (PCTs) outside the London area were restructured. The restructuring were finalised in October 2006, some of the old Primary Care Trusts are amalgamated with others to form a new PCT while others are split with its constituent parts being subsumed into several new PCTs. The number of PCTs reduced from 303 to 152. This happened alongside with the restructuring of the Strategic Health Authorities (SHAs), of which the number reduced from 28 to 10. The 10 new SHAs largely mimic the geography of the Government Office Regions, with the South East being split into South Central and South East Coast.
NHS East Midlands
East of England
The Bedfordshire & Hertfordshire; Norfolk, Suffolk & Cambridgeshire; and Essex strategic health authorities were merged in 2006 to make the East of England SHA. Primary care trusts were also merged and restructured to create a smaller number of larger PCTs.
London
NHS London is the strategic health authority for the capital. PCTs are coterminous with London borough
boundaries. From 2009 PCTs were calling themselves NHS and then the name of their borough to make it easier for local people to understand how the NHS is managed locally.
In April 2011, all primary care trusts in London clustered with neighbouring primary care trusts, in order to achieve management cost savings.
The following clusters of PCTs are now responsible for their local NHS budgets until clinical commissioning groups led by GPs take responsibility.
