It has been under financial pressure for many years. In April 2012 it was described as "among the small group of the most visibly troubled providers nationally" and the possibility that the trust would be split in three and joined with other local providers was considered. [1] In October 2013 it was proposing to reconfigure services between the three sites. [2]

In November 2013 it was revealed that the beds at Dewsbury and District Hospital would drop from 360 to 110 if the radical shake-up went ahead. [3] The number of beds at Pinderfields would rise from 730 to 810.

Balfour Beatty built Pinderfields and Pontefract hospitals as part of a £311 million private finance initiative deal with Royal Bank of Scotland. They were leased back from the companies by the Trust over 35 years. In 2011, through its subsidiary Royal Bank Project Investments, RBS sold its 50% stake to HICL Infrastructure, an investment company originally set up by HSBC bank. Balfour Beatty sold its 50% interest in the hospitals for £61.5 million, a profit of £42.2 million in October 2014. [4] The trust makes payments of £38 million a year until 2042 plus inflated charges for minor works. [5]

Kier Group has a £22 million contract to revamp Dewsbury and District Hospital. [6]

Trust name

The name of the trust changed on 1 May 2023 from its previous name of Mid Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust, following its partnership with the University of Leeds. [7] [8]

Mid Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust came into being when the former Pinderfields and Pontefract Hospitals NHS Trust and Dewsbury Health Care NHS Trust merged on 1 April 2002. [9]
