To receive an update from Whittington Health which will include the application for foundation status.

Following an update from Whittington Health, which included an overview of progress with regard to its application for Foundation Trust status, there was agreement that the Chair should write to Whittington Health expressing the Committee’s support for its application. (Action 111.1)  Cllr Bull      

(It was noted that whilst the Committee was not unanimous in its support of the principal of moving towards Foundation Trust status it was did support Whittington Health, as the local provider, in its application. There was agreement that it would be preferable for a provider with a strong local focus to obtain Foundation Trust status and manage the services operated by the Whittington Hospital as opposed to an organisation without this local knowledge).
