Healthcare in Yorkshire

Healthcare in Yorkshire is now (as of 2016) the responsibility of 19 Clinical Commissioning Groups covering:

History

From 1947 to 1974 NHS services in Yorkshire were managed by the Leeds and Sheffield Regional Hospital Boards. In 1974 the Boards were abolished and replaced by Regional Health Authorities. Yorkshire came under the Leeds and Sheffield RHAs. Regions were reorganised in 1996 and most of Yorkshire came under the Yorkshire Regional Health Authority. South Yorkshire was under the Trent Regional Health Authority. In 1994 the Yorkshire RHA merged into Northern and Yorkshire. Yorkshire from 1974 had 17 District health authorities. Barnsley, Sheffield and Rotherham each had their own DHA. In 1994 the 17 in Yorkshire were merged into seven: Bradford, East Riding, Grimsby and Scunthorpe, Leeds, North Yorkshire, Wakefield and West Yorkshire. 13 Primary care trusts were established covering the whole of the county in 2002: They were managed by three Strategic Health Authorities: West Yorkshire, South Yorkshire, and North and East Yorkshire and Northern Lincolnshire. They were merged into one, Yorkshire and the Humber, in 2006.

The CCGs took on the responsibilities of the former PCTs on 1 April 2013.

West Yorkshire formed a sustainability and transformation plan area in March 2016 with Rob Webster, the Chief Executive designate of South West Yorkshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust as its leader. South Yorkshire and Bassetlaw formed a separate sustainability and transformation plan area with Sir Andrew Cash OBE, the Chief Executive of Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust as its leader. The East Yorkshire area of Coast, Humber and Vale will be another sustainability and transformation plan area.[1]
