Foundation Trusts
In order to run such a huge operation, the MoH spends around the same proportion of its total budget on buildings, equipment, training, catering and cleaning, as it does on drugs and supplies. As a result, NHS Trusts must meet a number of environmental, health and safety standards as part of their day to day responsibilities. This protects the welfare of their employees, patients and the public.
Hospitals
In order to deliver their care, hospitals need to ensure they meet a number of environmental, health and safety standards for the welfare of their employees, patients and the public.
