In October 2012 the Trust announced that it needed a "smaller hospital, with substantially fewer beds". [2]

In October 2013 its future independence was under consideration. [3] The Trust recorded a deficit of £3.5 million in 2012–13 but predicted a surplus of £3.3 million in 2013–14. [4]

The Trust was one of the first to abandon the National Programme for Information Technology (NPfIT) electronic patient records system in 2009 and to adopt its own system but in November 2013 it announced that it was abandoning an electronic patient record system Meditech 6.0, produced by US-based Medical Information Technology, that it had spent more than £21 million implementing which went live in 2012, after a "catalogue of failure".

They discovered five more people who had also waited more than a year for treatment. 93.4% of patients at the trust referred for day-case or inpatient treatment received it within 18 weeks in January 2015, within the target of treating 90% of non-urgent cases in 18 weeks.

The trust spent £13.2 million on agency staff in 2014/5. [7] The trust was among the three worst nationally over care for women giving birth. [8]

In the most recent Care Quality Commission inspection report, published on 31 January 2019, the trust was rated overall as requires improvement. [9]

From 1 April 2011, a number of services previously provided by Rotherham Community Health Services and Doncaster Dental Care merged with The Rotherham NHS Foundation Trust creating a combined acute and community provider organisation. [10]
