  • Title: PCT merger. Building bridges.
    Author: Smith J, Goodwin N, Peck E.
    Journal: Health Serv J; 2003 May 22; 113(5856):24-6. PubMed ID: 12789751.
    Abstract:
    Primary care trusts can be torn between the need for critical mass and the danger of losing local vision and ownership; mergers are politically unpopular and fraught with difficulty. A review of Trafford South PCT stakeholders enabled a range of organisational models to be tested. The result was the creation of a 'joint and integrated management structure' for the two Trafford PCTs.
