PCT reconfiguration update

Strategic health authorities are expected to submit reports on reconfiguration of primary care trusts to the Department of Health by 10 April. This follows local consultations on proposals, which ended on 22 March. In a ministerial statement, Secretary of State for Health Patricia Hewitt said that no decisions will be taken before the results of the consultations have been considered. The Government aims to have new PCTs established from 1 October.
