Derbyshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust was established on 1 February 2011 when Monitor, the Independent Regulator of NHS Foundation Trusts, authorised Derbyshire Mental Health Services NHS Trust to become a Foundation Trust.
In April 2011 the Trust became the provider of Children’s Universal and Specialist Services for Derby city following a tender process. In addition as part of the Transforming Community Services programme, Community Paediatric Services and Substance Misuse Services from NHS Derby City were transferred into the organisation. It is the largest provider of mental health, learning disabilities and substance misuse services in Derbyshire, primarily serving the people of Derbyshire and Derby city which has a combined population of approximately 1 million.
The Trust has more than 2,500 staff who cover a range of services over 90 sites throughout the county.
The chairman of the trust, Alan Baines colluded with the trust’s chief executive, Steve Trenchard, to dismiss Mrs Helen Marks from her position as director of human resources after she rejected his advances in 2013. She was awarded compensation of £832,711 by an employment tribunal in February 2016. Trenchard was suspended on full pay for seven months at a cost of £90,000 and subsequently resigned. The trust spent £424,000 on legal fees and investigations in relation to the case.[1]
