Ipswich Hospital - the route to Foundation Trust status





All of the recent controversy over comparisons between the NHS and healthcare in the United States has mostly emphasised heat over light. Meanwhile, change is afoot for our local hospital.

Foundation Trusts are, according to a brochure I've received, a new type of healthcare organisation. The idea is that patients, members of the public, representatives of community organisations, staff and other healthcare and academic colleagues will help to set the future direction of Ipswich Hospital, by being involved as members of the organisation.

However, this is not something they intend to do to you, they want your feedback and suggestions by 11 September. So, to find out more, go to their website, where there is more information.
