Strategic health authorities (SHA) were part of the structure of the National Health Service in England.〔(NHS Choices - Authorities and trusts - Strategic health authorities )〕〔(NHS Confederation - About Strategic Health Authorities )〕 Each SHA was responsible for enacting the directives and implementing fiscal policy as dictated by the Department of Health at a regional level. They replaced the former regional health authorities. Each SHA area contained various NHS trusts which took responsibility for running or commissioning local NHS services. The SHA was responsible for strategic supervision of these services. In 2002, the existing regional health authorities were renamed and merged to form the 28 new ''strategic health authorities''.〔(National Health Service Reform and Health Care Professions Act 2002 (c. 17) )〕〔(The Health Authorities (Establishment and Abolition) (England) Order 2002 )〕 On 12 April 2006, Patricia Hewitt, Secretary of State for Health, announced that, following an NHS consultation, which ended on 22 March 2006, the SHAs were to be reorganized, reducing to ten in number.〔http://www.connectingforhealth.nhs.uk/bureauservices/plannedmigrations/mergejuly06sha〕〔(untitled )〕 This was hoped to produce substantial financial savings. The SHAs had the board and governance structures common to all NHS trusts. Strategic health authorities and primary care trusts were abolished on 31 March 2013 as part of the Health and Social Care Act 2012. Facilities owned by SHAs will transfer to NHS Property Services. ==SHAs after 1 July 2006== The ten SHAs established on 1 July 2006, and abolished on 31 March 2013, were: #NHS East of England (East of England region) #NHS East Midlands (East Midlands region) #NHS London (London) #NHS North East (North East region) #NHS North West (North West region) #NHS South Central #NHS South East Coast #NHS South West (South West region) #NHS West Midlands (West Midlands region) #NHS Yorkshire and the Humber (Yorkshire and the Humber region) These Strategic Health Authorities are coterminous with government office regions, except that the large South East England region is divided into two: South Central and South East Coast.〔http://www.dh.gov.uk/assetRoot/04/13/37/60/04133760.pdf〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Strategic health authority」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
