Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital Trust has been cleared to proceed with £90m PFI rebuild

A notice was placed with the Official Journal of the European Union on January 17th.

But it is not clear what the move will mean for the trust’s foundation trust application.

The chief executive’s report said their application should be submitted on January 17th but this had not happened by the time of the board meeting on the 27th.

The board paper said: “We continue to have weekly performance review meetings with North Central London sector and involvement from NHS London to inform the most sensible way to take this timetable forward.”
