Not academic.... but hopefully of interest
What advantages do you think being a Foundation trust will bring to
ED's ? (rather than the whole hospital)
And are trusts coming under significant pressure in recent weeks to
find increased 'cost improvements' to achieve Foundation status?
Obviously I cannot comment on my own venerable establishment but I hear
unsubstantiated rumours of other trusts sacking all their Matrons to
reduce costs in an attempt to cross the April goal line somewhere in the
vicinity of the ever sliding goal posts.
