History
The City and East London Area Health Authority (Teaching) was established in April 1974 as a result of the National Health Service Reorganisation Act, 1973. It was one of six Area Health Authorities in the North East Thames Region, and encompassed the Districts of City and Hackney, Newham and Tower Hamlets. It was abolished at the end of March 1982 by the Secretary of State under powers conferred on him by the National Service Act 1977 and the Health Services Act 1980.
The Joint Liaison Committee was formed in 1973, and consisted of representatives of Hospital Management Committee, Boards of Governors, Local Authorities and the Regional Hospital Board. The purpose of the Committee was to prepare for the 1974 re-organisation.
