| Strategic Health Authorities | ||||||
About this sector The Strategic Health Authorities are part of the structure of the NHS in England and prior to 2002 were known as NHS Health
Authorities. A significant reorganisation took place in 2006, which saw twenty eight SHAs reduced in number to ten. However, they have retained the Board and governance structures
common to all NHS Trusts. The SHAs are coterminous with the Government Office Regions of England, except that the large South East England region is divided into two (South Central
and South East Coast). Each SHA is responsible for enacting the directives and implementing the fiscal policy as directed by the Department of Health (DH). Within each SHA there are varying numbers and configurations of NHS Trusts which take responsibility for running or commissioning local NHS services. The SHA is responsible for
the strategic supervision of these services. Currently a main priority for the SHAs is their involvement in the 'Our NHS, our Future process' review being led by Lord Darzi. Each
SHA is working to finalise its vision documents, setting out the shape of regional healthcare for the next decade. Additional priorities for SHAs are the implementation of World
Class Commissioning and a System Management culture. More information ...
