Mid Staffordshire NHS Foundation Trust

Mid Staffordshire NHS Foundation Trust
Cannock Chase Hospital

The Mid Staffordshire NHS Foundation Trust is a NHS foundation trust which manages two hospitals:

The trust was awarded NHS foundation trust status on 1 February 2008. Previously it was named Mid Staffordshire General Hospitals NHS Trust, which had been created in 1993.

The trust serves about 320,000 people from Stafford, Cannock, Rugeley and the surrounding rural areas. About 3,000 employees work in the two hospitals.[1]

The trust provides services commissioned by South Staffordshire Primary Care Trust (PCT), which was created in 2006 by a merger of four PCTs: Burntwood, Lichfield & Tamworth, Cannock Chase, East Staffordshire and South Western Staffordshire. The trust is in the area covered by the West Midlands Strategic Health Authority.[1]

Stafford Hospital scandal

The trust has been at the centre of the major Stafford Hospital scandal in which it is estimated that because of the substandard care between 400 and 1200 more patients died between 2005 and 2008 than would be expected for the type of hospital.[2] The 2010 independent investigation report recommended that the regulator, Monitor, de-authorise the Foundation Trust status.[3] In June 2010, the new government announced that a full public inquiry is expected to report in March 2011.[4] The inquiry began on 8 November 2010.[5]
