Healthcare in Nottinghamshire
Healthcare in Nottinghamshire was, until July 2022, the responsibility of six clinical commissioning groups, covering Nottingham City, Nottingham North & East, Mansfield and Ashfield, Newark and Sherwood, Rushcliffe, and Nottingham West. They planned to merge in April 2020. History From 1947 to 1974 NHS services in Nottinghamshire were managed by the Sheffield Regional Hospital Board. In 1974 the boards were abolished and replaced by regional health authorities. Northamptonshire came under the Trent RHA. From 1974 there was one area health authority covering the county. From 1982 there were three district health authorities, Bassetlaw, Nottingham and Central Nottinghamshire. In 1992 Bassetlaw and Central Nottinghamshire were merged into North Nottinghamshire. Eight primary care trusts were established in the county in 2002: Ashfield, Broxtowe and Hucknall, Gedling, Mansfield District, Newark and Sherwood, Nottingham City, and Rushcliffe. All but Nottingham City were merged into Nottinghamshire County Teaching PCT in 2006. They were managed by the East Midlands Strategic Health Authority which was merged into NHS East Midlands in 2006. Sustainability and transformation plans Nottinghamshire formed a sustainability and transformation plan area in March 2016 with David Pearson, the Director of Adult Social Care at Nottinghamshire County Council as its leader.
