In December 1997, a white paper entitled ‘Designed to Care’ was published. It recommended a greater patient perspective in health care and a reduction in the number of trusts in Lothian from six to three. Lothian University Hospitals NHS Trust (LUHT) was formed consisting of the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh NHS Trust; Western General Hospitals Trust; and Edinburgh Sick Children’s Trust. In March 2003, the NHS white paper ‘Partnership for Care’ was published. This recommended the dissolution of NHS trusts and a move to a single system with decision making being taken at local level. Contracts were transferred from various trusts and boards to NHS Lothian. This resulted in the dissolution of the trusts; on 1 January 2004, LUHT dissolved to become an operating division of Lothian NHS Board, known as NHS Lothian – University Hospitals Division.
