Shouldn the Government be concentrating on helping poorly performing hospitals rather than best performers?
NHS Foundation Trusts form part of a wider reform programme designed to raise standards across the NHS as a whole. The Government is committed to raising performance right across the NHS, bringing all NHS Trusts and Primary Care Trusts up to the standard of the best. NHS Trusts will be supported through a £200million investment programme over the next four to five years to help them achieve the required standard in order to be able to submit an application for foundation status.
