Consultation 2011
We would like to make some changes to the arrangements for Leeds Teaching Hospitals to become a Foundation Trust.
Our current arrangements were agreed by our Board two years ago after consulting with the local community between October and December 2009. We agreed proposals that took into account the views of local people but these need to be updated.
We want to explain how we have updated our plans to take account of some changes that have happened since we first consulted with the local community and with stakeholders at this early stage of our journey towards Foundation Trusts status.
The Government is in the process of making big changes in the way the NHS is managed. This is having an impact on the responsibilities of local organisations and partnerships. We need to take these changes into account.
In addition, during the very detailed and complex application process we have had the opportunity to talk to other Trusts about what works most effectively. This has also caused us to review our plans to ensure we make the most of local community input.
Since we consulted on our overall intentions in 2009 and as the changes we are proposing to our plans are restricted to some specific areas we are undertaking a limited consultation on those changes.
