Health services

Primary Care Trusts are statutory NHS organisations. There are two covering Cheshire West and Chester and Cheshire East:

The Trusts were formed in 2006 following a reduction from four Primary Care Trusts within the old county of Cheshire. The Trusts work in partnership with various organisations to provide local health services.

Patient forums

Every Primary Care Trust has a Patient and Public Involvement Forum (PPI) whose members are local people. Their main functions are to monitor local NHS services, raise matters of local public concern with health organisations, advise the public about their local NHS services and help them with complaints. Members are recruited by the Commission for Patient and Public Involvement in Health (CPPIH).

To find out more about your local Patient Forum, see the Central and Eastern Cheshire PCT or Western Cheshire PCT websites.
