  5. What is a Foundation Trust? • NHS Foundation Trusts are firmly part of the NHS and subject to NHS standards, performance ratings and systems of inspection. Their primary purpose is to provide NHS care to NHS patients according to NHS quality standards and principles. Department of Health

  6. What is a Foundation Trust? However, NHS Foundation Trusts are different from existing NHS Trusts in the following ways… • They are independent legal entities - Public benefit corporations. Department of Health

  7. What is a Foundation Trust? • They have unique governance arrangements and are accountable to local people, who can become members and governors. Each Foundation Trust has a duty to consult and involve a council of governors (comprising patients, staff, members of the public and partner organisations) in the strategic planning of the organisation.

  8. What is a Foundation Trust? • They 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. Department of Health

  9. What is a Foundation Trust? • They have new financial freedoms and can raise capital from both the public and private sectors within borrowing limits based on affordability. • They can retain financial surpluses to invest in the delivery of new NHS services. Department of Health

  10. What is a Foundation Trust? • Foundation Trusts are overseen by Monitor. Department of Health Monitor regulates NHS foundation trusts, making sure they are well-managed and financially strong so that they can deliver excellent healthcare for patients.
