NHS Tayside was originally formed as Tayside Health Board in April 1974.[4] It replaced the Eastern Regional Hospital Board, that had been created in July, as having the responsibility for managing hospital provision in Dundee, Angus and Perth and Kinross.[5][6]
As of 2016 it is responsible for the governance of 22 hospitals, both major and community, and over 75 GP surgeries and other health centres. These employ over 30,000 staff.[4]
