Information about Strategic Health Authority

NHS Strategic Health Authorities (SHA) are part of the structure of the National Health Service in England. In 2002, the existing NHS Health Authorities (see List of NHS Health Authorities (1996-2002)) were renamed and merged to form the 28 new Strategic Health Authorities.[1][2] The SHAs have the Board and governance structures common to all NHS Trusts.

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.[3][4] 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 trusts which take responsibility for running or commissioning local NHS services. The SHA is responsible for strategic supervision of these services.

SHAs after 1st July 2006

The ten SHAs established as of 1 July 2006 are:
  1. East of England
  2. East Midlands
  3. London
  4. North East
  5. North West
  6. South Central
  7. South East Coast
  8. South West
  9. West Midlands
  10. Yorkshire and Humber


These Strategic Health Authorities are the same as the Government Office regions of England, except that the large South East England region is divided into two : South Central and South East Coast. [1].
