About us

NHS South East London and Southwark Business Support Unit

From 1st April 2011 Primary Care Trusts (PCTs) across England were grouped into clusters with some sharing of management teams and board members. The aim of clustering arrangements is to release savings in management costs for investing in front line care whilst preserving sufficient functionality for PCTs to carry out their statutory functions until they are abolished, subject to legislation, in April 2013.

NHS South East London

The local cluster, NHS South East London, became operational on 1 April 2011 and is a partnership of Bromley, Greenwich, Lambeth, Lewisham and Southwark Primary Care Trusts and Bexley Care Trust. 

However until April 2013, Southwark Primary Care Trust remains the statutory responsible body and our full board membership is listed below.
