Royal Wolverhampton Hospitals NHS Trust

The Royal Wolverhampton Hospitals NHS Trust runs New Cross Hospital in Wolverhampton.

The New Cross Hospital Trust was established in 1994, covered Wolverhampton, the Black Country, South Staffordshire, North Worcestershire and Shropshire.

It also owns the former eye hospital hospital building in Wolverhampton, which is now derelict.[1]

The Trust was highlighted by NHS England as having 3 of 148 reported never events in the period from April to September 2013.[2]

Mrs Sandra Haynes-Kirkbright was suspended by the Trust in July 2012 because of allegations made against her by colleagues of bullying, harassment, persistent swearing and unprofessional behaviour. She has alleged that the Trust cheated in concealing high mortality rates. Her whistle blowing allegations and subsequent treatment have been the subject of investigation by the NHS Trust Development Authority. She is still suspended on full pay.[3]

In December 2013 it was announced that the Trust would be unable to achieve foundation status for at least six months after a Care Quality Commission inspection raised concerns about staffing levels.[4]

In October 2014 it was announced that the Trust would take over Cannock Chase Hospital formerly run by Mid Staffordshire NHS Foundation Trust.[5]

The Gregg's bakery shop at New Cross is said to be the firm's second busiest outlet - much busier than the cafe on the site which sells healthier food.[6]
