NHS charities will be allowed to escape health service legislation | Third Sector

NHS charities will be allowed to escape health service legislation | Third Sector: Department of Health response to consultation says the move would allow the charities to operate more flexibly while maintaining links with the NHS

The Department of Health is to allow NHS charities to operate away from NHS legislation by setting up new charities and transferring their assets and activities to the new entities.

The DoH yesterday published its response to a public consultation on NHS charities, which says it will develop guidance for charities and NHS bodies and a template memorandum of understanding that could be agreed between any such newly established charity and NHS bodies.
