Hampshire Primary Care Trust
This website gives the information on how the PCT is changing and improving healthcare in your area; advice on how to get the best from local health services and what you can do to improve your own health.
The PCT does this by:-
• working with the local community to develop services that improve the health and well-being of the local community;
• commissioning a comprehensive and equitable range of high quality, responsive and efficient health services; and
• providing services ourselves when this is in the best interests of local people.
• Working with local hospitals, specialist health providers, GPs and other family health practitioners, local authorities and the community as a whole to make sure services are doing the right things and are being provided from the right place.
• It serves about 1.25 million people and have an annual budget of around £1.576 billion - about £1,253 for every person in its area.
• The PCT has a workforce of around 3,500 people who provide a wide range of services in settings such as, health centres, clinics, GP practices, community hospitals and in the community.
• It sits within the strategic health authority area of NHS South Central which covers Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hampshire and the Isle of Wight.
• It covers the whole of the county of Hampshire - an area of around 1,400 square miles. The cities of Southampton and Portsmouth are each covered by a different PCT.
