[5] The trust is to set up an independent business subsidiary in London in partnership with the University of Oxford and Mayo Clinic in 2019.

[9] In 2019 NHS England planned to remove the contract for PET-CT scanning from the trust's Churchill Hospital and award it to a private contractor, InHealth.

NHS England subsequently changed its mind, and agreed that the scanners would stay in the hospital, but InHealth was given the contract to provide the service.

[14] In June 2019 the Care Quality Commission downgraded the trust's rating from “good” to “requires improvement” because “Across John Radcliffe Hospital’s wards and in the main theatres the state and repair of the walls, floors, doors and work surfaces were such that adequate cleaning could not always be assured.” There were other problems affecting infection control in the operating theatres.

[15] In September 2018 the chief executive, Bruno Holthof, reported that the trust had about 450 nursing vacancies, because of the effect of Brexit and the high cost of living in the area, and had to close beds as a result.
