Primary care trust of responsibility

The PCT of responsibility table contains episodes grouped according to the responsible primary care trust (PCT). This does not necessarily reflect where the patient lived (see the SHA of residence table) or where they were treated (see the hospital providers table).

In October 2006, the NHS reorganised the 303 primary care trusts in England into 152. From 2006-07, we have provided two versions of the PCT of responsibility publication; one table in the old structure and one in the new structure.
