York Teaching Hospital NHS Foundation Trust runs York Hospital, Archways Community Intermediate Care Inpatient Facility, St Helen's Rehabilitation Hospital and White Cross Court Rehabilitation Hospital in York, Bridlington Hospital, Malton Hospital, Whitby Hospital, St Monica’s Easingwold, New Selby War Memorial Hospital and Scarborough General Hospital.

History

The York Hospital NHS Foundation Trust was established on 1 April 2007, and renamed York Teaching Hospital NHS Foundation Trust in 2010, following its links with Hull York Medical School (HYMS).

In October 2010, Scarborough and North East Yorkshire NHS Trust approached the trust, seeking assistance due to their financial misfortunes.[1] On 1 July 2012 this deal was complete and Scarborough General Hospital became part of the York trust.[2] With many departments merging between hospitals. This new larger organisation employs over 8,500 people.

From April 2011, with community-based services moving away from the Primary Care Trust, the trust took over the management of some of the community nursing and specialist services in Selby, York, Scarborough, Whitby and Ryedale.

Performance

During 2010-2011 the annual turnover for the hospital was £247 million. More than 92% of the trust’s clinical income came from contracts with the Primary Care Trust.

The trust was one of 26 responsible for half of the national growth in patients waiting more than four hours in accident and emergency over the 2014/5 winter.[3]

The trust broke from the national pay agreement in August 2015 by giving a 1% pay rise to its senior non-clinical staff - those earning above £57,069 - in line with the award for the rest of the staff. [4] It spent £11.8 million on agency staff in 2014/5.[5]

In January 2016 the Trust announced that it was expecting an unprecedented deficit of £11 million on an annual budget of about £450 million. All spending was to be deferred until April if possible.[6]
