Self‐Governing in the South East Thames Health Authority

Abstract

Self‐governance flows from the decision to fund NHS Services on the basis of agreed contracts. A self‐governing trust represents an extension of the accepted principle of maximum devolution; it is not pursuing a separate course. In the South East Thames Region potential first‐wave trust candidates will have decided by the end of September 1989 whether to proceed with a formal bid. The Regional Health Authority has set up a project group to consider how best to take forward proposals for self‐governing trusts.
