NHS foundation trusts were created to devolve decision making from central government to local organizations and communities enabling them be responsive to needs and wishes of local people. A foundation trust is publicly owned and is accountable to the local population, patients, attendants and staff through a Council of Governors. The Council of Governors are appointed from stakeholder organizations such as Local Councils or elected by the members of the Trust.
