Elections to the Council of Governors
As a Foundation Trust, we have more freedom from central government control, though we remain fully part of the NHS. Foundation Trusts and continue to deliver free care, based on need, not ability to pay. The big difference is that we are more accountable to the local community. This is because local people and staff can become members of the Trust and elect representatives to serve on the Council of Governors or even stand for election as a governor themselves.
