NHS South of Tyne and Wear covers Gateshead Primary Care Trust (PCT), South Tyneside Primary Care Trust (PCT) and Sunderland Teaching Primary Care Trust (TPCT) and is the name given to the integrated management arrangements which exist across the three PCTs. This means that, whilst each PCT remains a statutory organisation in its own right, the day-to-day management of the PCTs has been brought together under a single management team.
