SWFT Clinical Services was the first FT subsidiary company when it was set up in 2011, initially established so the trust could reclaim VAT charges on outpatient drugs, as Trusts can claim tax exemptions when entering into contracts with third parties to operate dispensaries.
[8] In August 2014, it emerged that the Trust was exploring a number of projects to assist the struggling George Eliot Hospital.
[10] This was partly financed by a Section 106 agreement with Coventry City Council, based on increased service demand from residents in new development, a £1,500 levy on each new dwelling in a large residential development.
[11] The trust signed a memorandum of understanding with South Warwickshire GP Ltd – a federation of 35 GP practices - in August 2015 with the intention to establish an accountable care organisation which would provide primary, community and acute care to the local population.
