Financial checks to be eased on NHS providers

More than 100 NHS hospital and mental health providers are to be freed of significant checks on their finance and governance within 18 months.

HSJ has said that it understands the compliance regime run by Monitor only applies to foundation trusts still within the first two years of their authorisation from April 2012. Before April this year there were 129 authorised foundation trusts. Under the new approach to regulation nearly all would be freed from many checks in April 2012. The only exceptions would be those with very poor risk ratings at that point.
