Hampshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (HHFT) is an NHS Foundation Trust providing services in Hampshire and parts of west Berkshire.[1] It was established in January 2012 as the result of the integration of Basingstoke and North Hampshire NHS Foundation Trust and Winchester and Eastleigh Healthcare Trust. It runs Andover War Memorial Hospital (AWMH), Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospitatal (BNHH) and Royal Hampshire County Hospital. (RHCH) The Trust also runs a private hospital on the same site as BNHH - the Candover Clinic.

Performance

Like many NHS hospitals the Trust has had difficulty in meeting the national target in its emergency department which has seen a rise of nearly 8% in patient numbers in the last year.[7] In the year 2015/2016, HHFT failed this target which aims to see 95% of patients admitted to A&E discharged or admitted within 4 hours.[8] The trust spent £4 million on agency staff in 2014/5.[9]

The Trust is planning a new Critical Treatment Hospital to be built alongside a new £18.5m cancer treatment centre, on land at North Waltham, Hampshire. It would have a centralised obstetric labour unit and midwifery-led birthing centre, paediatric ward, central pathology laboratory, ambulance station, energy centre and a helicopter landing pad.[10] The total cost of delivering the hospital is expected to be £150 million, of which £120 million is the cost of building.[11] Kier Group is the preferred bidder. Work will start on site in April 2016.[12]
