"The Goscote Palliative Care Centre development has been an exciting project for NHS Walsall. I can confirm that the level of consultation and face to face contact has been a really positive aspect of this scheme, including a strong sense of continuity and ‘can do’ approach amongst all the partners."

What is LIFT?

NHS Local Improvement Finance Trust (LIFT)

Of the 152 Primary Care Trusts in England 94 have an involvement in NHS LIFT.

The NHS LIFT initiative provided that the successful private sector bidder along with members of the local health economy and a national body (Partnerships for Health now Community Health Partnerships (CHP)) would incorporate a joint venture company (LIFTCo) which would have a 20 year exclusive agreement to deliver all PCT led Primary Care premises developments in a defined geographical area.

Each LIFTCo is in essence a private public partnership for delivering Primary Care Premises in the relevant locality.

Each LIFTCo was incorporated so that the private sector partners would own 60 per cent, the local PCTs together with other members of the local health and social care economy would own 20 per cent and CHP would own the remaining 20 per cent.

NHS LIFT has so far delivered £1.3 billion of Primary Care and Community Schemes in the first 6 years since its inception

There are 48 NHS LIFT buildings under construction and 149 NHS LIFT buildings open to patients.
