Health and Social Care Act 2012
The
Health and Social Care Act 2012
(
c 7]
is an
Act
of the
Parliament of the United Kingdom
. It provides for the most extensive reorganisation of the structure of the
National Health Service in England
to date. It removed responsibility for the health of citizens from the
Secretary of State for Health
, which the post had carried since the inception of the NHS in 1948. It abolished
NHS primary care trusts
(PCTs) and
Strategic Health Authorities
(SHAs) and transferred between £60 billion and £80 billion of "commissioning", or health care funds, from the abolished PCTs to several hundred "
clinical commissioning groups
", partly run by the
general practitioners
(GPs) in England but a major point of access for private service providers. A new
executive agency
of the
Department of Health
,
Public Health England
, was established under the Act on 1 April 2013.
