History.
NHS Tayside was originally formed as Tayside Health Board in April 1974. It replaced the Eastern Regional Hospital Board, that had been created in July 1948, as having the responsibility for managing hospital provision in Dundee, Angus and Perth and Kinross. It also took over the functions of Dundee Mental Hospitals (Board of Management), which had been formed in 1948 to administer mental health provision within Dundee.
It was organised into three Community Health Partnerships (CHPs): Angus, Dundee and Perth, which were replaced by health and social Care Partnerships that became fully operational in April 2016.
 it is responsible for the governance of 3 major hospitals, several community hospitals and over 60 GP surgeries and other health centres. These employ over 30,000 staff.
Change of administrators.
In April 2018 a new chairman and chief executive were appointed to run NHS Tayside as a "special measure" by the Scottish Government, after Health Secretary Shona Robison said there were concerns about whether NHS Tayside could manage it own finances.
