NHS Barnet
NHS Barnet was the statutory NHS body responsible for improving the health of the resident population within the London Borough of Barnet. It commissioned services for the second largest London borough, both in terms of geographical size and population.
Barnet Primary Care Trust was established on 1 April 2001, taking on functions previously undertaken by the three former Barnet Primary Care Groups and Barnet Health Authority. The Trust also assumed responsibility for the community services previously provided by Barnet Healthcare NHS Trust.
NHS Barnet held an annual budget of approximately £500 million. Approximately 50% of this is spent on acute care commissioning.
Following an inspection by the Care Quality Commission in 2015, Barnet, Enfield and Haringey Mental Health Trust obtained an overall rating of ‘requires improvement’.
In October 2016, a draft Sustainability and Transformation Plan was submitted to NHS England by the NHS in North Central London to propose changes and improvements to their services moving forward.
