HSC trusts are the main providers of health and social care in Northern Ireland.

They are funded mainly by the DHSSPS via the health and social care board and are accountable to the Minister.

The Western Trust covers 5 local council areas - almost 5,0002 kilometres - and provides services to around 290,000 people. The trust employs almost 12,500 staff and spends some £439 million on a wide range of health and
social care services. It has lands and properties valued at around £344 million.

Services are delivered by 5 service directorates. The service
directorates are:

• acute services;
