Health Trusts
Primary Care Trust's (PCT) are the first point of contact when accessing local healthcare. The trusts consists of the doctors, optician or dentist that you may visit when you encounter a medical problem. The PCT works with local authorities and agencies that provide local people with health and social care and should ensure that our local community's health needs are being met. PCTs receive 75% of the NHS budget and the government suggests that these organisations are best placed to understand and provide the services for the health and social well-being of local people.
