Who runs NHS hospitals?
- 720NHS
Taken from the CQC register: “NHS” means run by an NHS body or providing NHS primary care; “Independent” is the CQC’s word for a provider that is not an NHS body – a company, partnership or individual. It says who runs the service, not who pays: many independent providers deliver NHS- or council-funded care. Charities and community interest companies are shown separately, where the register or the provider’s name says so. Use the All · NHS · Private switch at the top of any directory page to browse one kind only.
What does hospital care cost?
- NHS hospitals
- Free at the point of use for people ordinarily resident in the UK. You usually need a referral, except in an emergency.
- Independent hospitals and clinics
- Self-pay or private medical insurance. Many also treat NHS patients through an NHS referral, at no cost to the patient.
Each listing shows whether it is run by the NHS or is independent.
