PCTs/health improvement. The object of the exercise.
A study of six primary care trusts showed that those most successful in tackling health improvement had certain common characteristics. Strong board-level support and leadership, combined with development funding, were the most effective. Successful PCTs also showed a corporate recognition of local health and socio-economic inequalities.
