"[3] In April 2018, WWL ranked 18 out of 133 trusts in the area of cancer care, with 91.7% of patients beginning treatment within 62 days of an urgent GP referral.

The Health Service Journal named WWL as Provider Trust of the Year in November 2014 on the basis that their strong focus on staff engagement had helped them to reduce mortality rates while achieving a cash surplus.

On 3 November 2017, the Trust established a subsidiary company, WWL Solutions Ltd,[7] in an attempt to transfer 900 estates and facilities staff, which was ultimately unsuccessful.

The intention was to reduce the Trust's costs by taking advantage of VAT loopholes present in the Value Added Tax Act 1994.
