History
The trust was established on 1 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 1 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).
