We received 124 responses from 104 trusts. This accounts for 50% of the sector (206 trusts in England).

  • 72% of responses were from FTs and 18% from NHS trusts.
  • All trust types and regions were represented in the responses.
  • 63% of respondents were governance leads (company secretaries, directors of corporate governance, and other posts incorporating trust governance responsibility), and 37% were chairs.
  • Where sample sizes were under ten we have taken steps, including not publicly including trust type in this summary, to protect respondents' anonymity.
