Organisation: West Essex Primary Care Trust

NHS West Essex holds the NHS budget for the 270,000 people who live in Epping Forest, Harlow and Uttlesford. The area we cover stretches from Buckhurst Hill in the south of Essex to Steeplebumpsted in the north. We are responsible for improving primary care and the health of the local population.

We provide some health services such as district nursing, school nursing and health visitors. We also provide specialist services such as physiotherapy, speech and language therapy, and Macmillan nursing.

Our three main functions are to:

• work with our local population to improve their health and well being
• purchase a comprehensive and equitable range of high quality, responsive and efficient services within the resources we have available
• provide high quality responsive and efficient services where this gives best value.
