1st April 2014 marked the beginning of a regime under which some independent providers join NHS foundation trusts in being licensed and regulated by Monitor. We are pleased to announce that Cygnet Health Care have been granted a licence with Monitor.
The NHS providers licence is Monitor’s main tool for regulating providers of NHS services. The licence is designed to protect and promote the interests of patients whilst allowing providers to operate as flexibly as is appropriate in their local health economy. The licence sets out important conditions that providers must meet to help ensure that the health sector works for the benefit of patients.
“We are delighted that we have been successful in our application for a licence and we look forward to working with Monitor in the future.”Vicky McNally, Corporate Governance Director
