Nhs Strategic Health Authority




On April 12 2006 , Patricia Hewitt , Secretary Of State For Health , announced that, following an NHS consultation, which ended on March 22 2006 , the SHAs were to be reorganized, reducing to ten in number.http://www.connectingforhealth.nhs.uk/bureauservices/plannedmigrations/mergejuly06shahttp://www.dh.gov.uk/assetRoot/04/13/37/60/04133760.pdf This is hoped to produce substantial financial savings.

Each SHA is responsible for enacting the directives and implementing fiscal policy as dictated by the Department Of Health at a regional level. In turn each SHA area contains various NHS Trust s which take responsibility for running or commissioning local NHS services. The SHA is responsible for strategic supervision of these services.
