In 2014 the trust established a subsidiary company, QE Facilities Ltd, to which 564 estates and facilities staff were transferred. The intention was to achieve VAT benefits, as well as pay bill savings, by recruiting new staff on less expensive non-NHS contracts. VAT benefits arise because NHS trusts can only claim VAT back on a small subset of goods and services they buy. The Value Added Tax Act 1994 provides a mechanism through which NHS trusts can qualify for refunds on contracted out services. [2]
The trust was placed second by Macmillan Cancer Support in a league table ranking cancer patients' experience across England in September 2014. [3]
