History

The trust was established on 1st April 2001 as an evolution of an organisation called Southampton East Healthcare, which covered part of the city as well as parts of Eastleigh. Over the first year, the organisation's boundaries altered, and from 1st April 2002, the PCT was responsible for healthcare in the whole of Southampton, while the Eastleigh portion was transferred to Eastleigh and Test Valley Primary Care Trust (now Hampshire Primary Care Trust).
