Tees, Esk and Wear Valleys NHS Trust
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Tees, Esk and Wear Valleys NHS Trust is a NHS Trust that provides mental health, learning disability and addictive behaviour services. It covers the 1.4 million people living in County Durham, the Tees Valley and North East Yorkshire. The annual income is around £200m and the Trust employs about 5,000 staff, who work from over 200 offices. The headquarters of the Trust are at West Park Hospital, Darlington.[1]
The Trust was created in 2006 through the merger of two specialist health trusts; the County Durham and Darlington Priority Services NHS Trust and the Tees and North East Yorkshire NHS Trust.[2][3] It was praised, in 2007, by the independent watchdog, the Healthcare Commission, for the quality of its services.[4]
