For any readers of this blog who are interested in the progress of Manchester Mental Health and Social Care Trust's Foundation Trust application, the news is that they have just passed the Department of Health stage. There are various hurdles to overcome to gain Foundation Trust status and this means that the Trust will now progress on to the next one, which is financial scrutiny by Monitor, the regulator for Foundation Trusts in England. More information about all this is available in MMHSCT's latest newsletter. More information about what becoming a Foundation Trust means is available on MMHSCT's Foundation Trust microsite as well as on the Monitor website.
