What we do
Strategic health authorities manage the NHS locally and provide an important link between the Department of Health and the NHS.
They are responsible for:
- Providing strategic leadership to the local NHS, ensuring national policy is implemented at a local level
- Leading on organisational and workforce development, ensuring the NHS organisations in the region are fit for purpose and have a workforce to meet the future healthcare needs of the population
- Developing plans for improving health services in their region
- Making sure local health services are of a high quality and are performing well.
The NHS South of England Board has identified a clear set of overarching priorities for the transition period, based on a need to focus on safety, quality and money.
