'Unsustainable' NHS trust named
The Mid Staffordshire NHS foundation trust is providing safe care now but will not be able to do so on a sustainable basis in the future, according to an independent investigation for the health sector regulator.
Mid Staffordshire trust could be put in to administration
The Contingency Planning Team are now considering how services should be provided in a way which meets the needs of patients in the Mid Staffordshire area but is also sustainable.
This will include assessing whether some services should be moved to existing or new providers in the area.
Once the independent regulator of NHS foundation trusts Monitor has received the final report, it will decide what to do next and could put the trust into Special Administration.
