Bridgewater Community NHS Trust is seeking the views of patients and the public on its plans for becoming a Foundation Trust.
Foundation Trusts are NHS organisations which are more accountable to local people and have greater financial freedoms to invest in local services.
They remain firmly part of the NHS and are subject to its standards, performance ratings and systems of inspection. Their primary purpose is to provide care to NHS patients.
Foundation Trusts have unique governance arrangements which include members (public, patients and staff) and governors (elected by members or nominated by partner organisations).
Have your say
Patients, local people and partner organisations are invited to express their views on our proposed governance arrangements for becoming a Foundation Trust during a 12 week consultation period. The deadline for responses is April 30.
To take part in the consultation and to find out when and where the public consultation events will take place, go to http://www.bridgewater.nhs.uk/ft/ |
