The Trust's service for homeless patients in Leeds, York Street Health practice, was said to be outstanding by the Care Quality Commission in 2016, and described by Richard Vautrey as a national exemplar. Steve Field said it was a 'thoroughly outstanding practice', which was 'one of the best the CQC has visited'. The contract was transferred to Bevan Healthcare CIC in 2017. [5]

It formed an alliance in September 2017 with three local GP Federations, Local Care Direct, which provides the out-of-hours service, and One Medical Group, which provides walk-in services, to provide a primary care streaming service for A&E departments across Leeds. This is intended to form the basis of a primary care home model. [6]
