NHS Foundation Trusts

(asked on 10th November 2015) - View Source

Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether NHS Improvement will consider further applications from NHS trusts to become foundation trusts.


This question was answered on 19th November 2015

We will continue to discuss the role of foundation trusts (FTs) in the National Health Service with the leaders of NHS Improvement as the organisation moves to a more aligned approach to the regulation and oversight of FTs and NHS trusts.


The clinical and economic sustainability of all trusts is of paramount importance, and NHS Improvement will continue to support NHS providers to determine the most appropriate means of securing their long-term future.


The NHS Trust Development Authority is continuing to refer organisations to Monitor for FT authorisation decisions. No decisions have yet been made about how this activity will be undertaken by NHS Improvement from 1 April 2016.
