It is an NHS provider and care is free at the point of delivery. Hampshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust employs around 6,000 staff and has a turnover of over £390 million a year (2017/18). There are around 15,000 public and staff members. As a Foundation Trust it has directly accountable to its members through the governors. Council of Governors represent the interests of their constituencies and influence the future plans of the Foundation Trust. We all want to provide outstanding care. As an organisation we need to make sure that we can do that for every patient, which means not only the patients we see today, but the ones who will need us next year and in years to come. In order to continue to provide outstanding care, we need to ensure that we focus on the care that we provide and the staff who care for our patients. We need to be responsible stewards of our financial resources ensuring that we do not spend too much in one area and deny future patients the care that they need. We need to be innovative. And we need to do all this within our CARE values, treating patients, colleagues and partners with compassion and respect. Our vision of providing outstanding care for every patient encompasses all these aspects.
