[3][4] In June 2013, Martin Watts resigned from his post as Chair of the Trust after external investigations into two separate complaints were upheld.

[7] In January 2019, the trust decided to move elective orthopaedic work out of Treliske to St Michael's Hospital in Hayle, in order to protect the waiting list from the pressure of emergencies.

[8] The trust was one of the biggest beneficiaries of Boris Johnson's announcement of capital funding for the NHS in August 2019, with an allocation of £100 million for a new women's and children's hospital in Truro.

[15] In 2019, it was fined a total of £16,250 for 13 separate breaches of the NHS statutory duty of candour after it failed to notify the patient or their family of the facts available in a safety investigation as soon as reasonably possible.

[17] In the twelve months to September 2018, the trust was at OPEL level 4 – a major crisis requiring external help – for 134 days, the worst in England, with operations repeatedly cancelled.
