List Of Primary Care Trusts In England
In October 2006, all Primary Care Trusts (PCTs) outside the London area were restructured. This reduced the number of PCTs from 303 to 152. At the same time, the number of strategic health authorities (SHAs) (which have responsibility for the PCTs) were also decreased (from 28 to 10). These ten new SHAs largely mimic the geography of the Government Office Regions. The exception to this is the South East Government Office Region which is covered by two strategic health authorities: South Central SHA and South East Cost SHA..
The PCTs are organised into clusters so as to achieve management cost savings, although the PCTs themselves remain separate statutory bodies. Whilst the majority of clusters contain multiple PCTs, there are some clusters, such as Cumbria, which consist of just a single primary care trust. In October 2011, the ten SHAs were also grouped into clusters, with each having its own executive team, chief executive, and directors. There are four SHA clusters, and these are London, North of England, NHS Midlands and East, and South of England.
As of 31 March 2013, PCTs and SHAs will be abolished, with clinical commissioning groups taking over the function of commissioning health and care services. This is as a result of the Health and Social Care Act 2012.

“Love’s boat has been shattered against the life of everyday. You and I are quits, and it’s useless to draw up a list of mutual hurts, sorrows, and pains.”
—Vladimir Mayakovsky (1893–1930)

“Without the Constitution and the Union, we could not have attained the result; but even these, are not the primary cause of our great prosperity. There is something back of these, entwining itself more closely about the human heart. That something, is the principle of “Liberty to all”Mthe principle that clears the path for all—gives hope to all—and, by consequence, enterprize [sic], and industry to all.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
“It is not only a question of who is responsible for very young children. There is no longer anyone home to care for adolescents and the elderly. There is no one around to take in the car for repair or to let the plumber in. Working families are faced with daily dilemmas: Who will take care of a sick child? Who will go to the big soccer game? Who will attend the teacher conference?”
—Fran Sussner Rodgers (20th century)
“No married woman ever trusts her husband absolutely, nor does she ever act as if she did trust him. Her utmost confidence is as wary as an American pickpocket’s confidence that the policeman on the beat will stay bought.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
“He was inordinately proud of England and he abused her incessantly.”
—H.G. (Herbert George)
