Liverpool Community Health NHS Trust

Liverpool Community Health NHS Trust was one of the community health NHS trusts created in 2012.

It provides services for people at the end of their life, in which Liverpool is a pioneer.[1]

Care is organised across 18 neighbourhood teams in the city.[2]

Bernie Cuthel the chief executive resigned after the Care Quality Commission (CQC) issued the trust with two warnings in January 2014 for failing to meet national targets. Staff at Fazakerley hospital had raised concerns over “bullying” managers and a “blame culture” that made them afraid to report incidents.[3]

An inspection by the Care Quality Commission on October 31 and November 1 2014 of services provided at HM Prison Liverpool was highly critical, recording poor practice as a result of staff shortages and poor handling of medication. The Trust withdrew from the provision of services at the prison.[4]

In February 2015 the Trust announced that it had abandoned attempts to become a foundation trust.[5]
