Belfast Health and Social Care Trust

Belfast Health and Social Care Trust delivers integrated health and social care to the people of Belfast and Northern Ireland. 
We provide local services to the 340,000 people in Belfast and part of the Borough of Castlereagh, while also providing specialist services to all of Northern Ireland.

In our hospitals, we treat approximately 210,000 inpatient and day patients a year, see 680,000 outpatients and more than 200,000 people at our ED departments.In the community we are corporate parent to 600 children in care --  -- the majority in foster care. We are also responsible for between 500 and 550 children on the child protection register -- and every year receive 800 referrals for children in need of support -- mostly in their own home.
We provide services for older people through nine residential homes and also commission services from the independent and voluntary sector to support older people who wish to remain in their own homes.
