Its goal was to provide public healthcare services for the population of the Central and Western and Southern Districts. In mid-2012, the population was 544,100. It was one of seven similar clusters, until it was merged with Hong Kong East Cluster (HKEC) into Hong Kong Island Cluster (HKIC) on 1 April 2026.[1]
