“These results endorse our view that with strong leadership and the right freedoms, NHS foundation trusts will deliver improvements for their patients.”

Bill Moyes, Monitor 17th October 2007

Tuesday 18 April 2023

Foundation Trusts – Should we go further?

• FT’s now ‘model of choice’

• Mergers and acquisitions - will FT’s acquire failing NHS Trusts?

- who represents customers & shareholders?

• Extension of public/private partnerships?• Commerciality and franchising• Will FT’s become a “holding company” with

internal/external contracts and JV’s• What can UCLH do???
