Healthcare in Lincolnshire

Healthcare in Lincolnshire is now the responsibility of five Clinical Commissioning Groups covering Lincolnshire West, Lincolnshire East, North East Lincolnshire, North Lincolnshire and South Lincolnshire .

History

From 1947 to 1974 NHS services in Lincolnshire were managed by the Sheffield Regional Hospital Board. In 1974 the Boards were abolished and replaced by Regional Health Authorities. Leicestershire came under the Trent RHA. From 1974 there were two Area health authorities, North and South covering the county. From 1982 there was one District Authority. Five Primary care trusts were established in the county in 2002:East Lincolnshire, Lincolnshire South West Teaching PCT and West Lincolnshire, North Lincolnshire and North East Lincolnshire Care Trust Plus. East Lincolnshire, Lincolnshire South West Teaching PCT and West Lincolnshire were merged in 2006. They were managed by the North and East Yorkshire and Northern Lincolnshire Strategic health authority and East Midlands Strategic health authority.

In March 2016 Allan Kitt the Chief Officer of South West Lincolnshire Clinical Commissioning Group was appointed the leader of the Lincolnshire Sustainability and transformation plan footprint.^[1]
