[edit]The Trust was established in 2002 as the Cheshire and Wirral Partnership NHS Trust.[2] They achieved NHS foundation trust status in July 2007.[3]
In July 2013 the trust selected Ryhurst Ltd as preferred bidder for a comprehensive range of Facilities Management services in a partnership which will last for an initial 15-year period, with an option to extend for a further five years.[4]
Facilities
[edit]The trust runs a Health and Education Assessment Unit at Adcote House where Pets as Therapy are involved.[5] It runs three general practices in Cheshire: Old Hall Surgery in Ellesmere Port, Westminster Surgery and Willaston Surgery, taken over as the practices could not recruit new partners.[6]
