Who we are and what we do
Organisational information, structures, locations and contact
The National Health Service (NHS) is a very large part of the public sector. There are over 600 Primary Care Trusts (PCTs); a full list can be found on the NHS website.
The strategic direction of the Trust is guided by the Department of Health and the principles set out in the NHS Plan. The Department of Health website can be found at the Department of Health website and has links to key national strategies that guide the NHS nationally.
Solent NHS Trust has a statutory responsibility to plan services for the people it serves. In order to do this effectively and to ensure that our plans are transparent and available to all our staff as well as the public, we produce a series of documents on an annual basis. These documents can be divided into two main areas:
Organisational structure
Corporate governance information including details of Board members and other key personnel. This will also include an explanation of the internal structure of the authority and how the structure relates to roles and responsibilities.
Lists of and information relating to organisations with which the authority works in partnership
Information sufficient for the purposes of identifying the relationship between these bodies and the authority.
