What is an NHS Trust? Is a Trust not a hospital?
|
Prior to 2013, there used to be a wide range of NHS trusts, such as; acute trusts, ambulance trusts, and mental health trusts.
They all helped to manage NHS hospital care in England, including community care and mental health services. However, today, most of these services are provided through NHS foundation trusts and NHS trusts providing: ambulance services, emergency care services, or mental health services. |
First introduced in April 2004, NHS Foundation trusts differ from other existing NHS trusts. They are independent legal entities and have unique governance arrangements. They are also accountable to local people, who can become members and governors.
Each NHS foundation trust has a duty to consult and involve a board of governors – including patients, staff, members of the public, and partner organisations – in the strategic planning of the organisation. |
|
|
NHS Foundation trusts are set free from central government control and are no longer performance-managed by health authorities. As self-standing, self-governing organisations, NHS foundation trusts are free to determine their own future. They have financial freedom and can raise capital from both the public and private sectors within borrowing limits, determined by projected cash flows, and are therefore based on affordability. They can retain financial surpluses to invest in the delivery of new NHS services. For a list of all NHS trusts CLICK HERE. |
