With an annual budget of around £450 million we provide healthcare for residents in Stockport, East Cheshire and North Derbyshire as well as patients we treat from other boroughs in Greater Manchester who choose our services. We are working closely with East Cheshire NHS Trust to understand how some health and care services could be improved and sustained in the future. You can read more about this work here.
