NHS Hospital Trust

NHS Hospital Trust

NHS Hospital Trusts provide acute health services within the English and Welsh National Health Service. They are commissioned to provide these services by Primary Care Trusts.

Acute Trusts judged to be performing with outstanding efficiency may be reclassified as Foundation Trusts. These trusts are given greater independence from the Primary Care Trusts over salaries, bonuses and management. There are around 60 in the United Kingdom (e.g. Sheffield Children's Hospital).

For a list of Trusts in Wales, see List of Hospitals in Wales.
