NHS West Midlands

NHS West Midlands was a strategic health authority (SHA) of the National Health Service in England. It operated in the West Midlands region, which is coterminous with the local government office region. It was abolished in April 2013.

General information

NHS West Midlands (also known as West Midlands Strategic Health Authority) was created in July 2006, following the merger of Birmingham and The Black Country, Shropshire and Staffordshire, and West Midlands South SHAs.

It covered an area of approximately 5,000 square miles (13,000 km2) with a population of approximately 5.4 million. The region has a total of 46 NHS organisations: 19 hospital trusts (including nine NHS foundation trusts); six mental health trusts (including three foundation trusts); 17 primary care trusts; three community provider trusts and one ambulance services trust.

The strategic health authority was responsible for ensuring that the circa £10 billion spent on health and health care across the region delivers better services for patients and value for money for the people living in the West Midlands.

The areas encompassed by the SHA were: Birmingham, Coventry, Dudley, Herefordshire, Sandwell, Shropshire, Solihull, Staffordshire, Stoke-on-Trent, Telford and Wrekin, Walsall, Warwickshire, Wolverhampton and Worcestershire.

There are[when?] approximately 126,000 staff employed by the NHS in the West Midlands.[citation needed]
