Doncaster and Bassetlaw Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust was established in 2004. It runs services at Bassetlaw District General Hospital, Doncaster Royal Infirmary, Montagu Hospital and Retford Hospital, in Nottinghamshire and South Yorkshire, England.

The Trust issued a contract to the Co-operative Pharmacy for seven years for Doncaster Royal Infirmary’s accident and emergency, and outpatient departments in September 2011.[1] A month later it decided to outsource laundry services as it was not able to invest the necessary capital to bring the service up to a satisfactory standard.[2]

The Trust was awarded the Baby Friendly Award from UNICEF and the World Health Organisation, for the high standard of care given to pregnant women and breastfeeding mothers and babies in January 2014.[3]

The director of finance resigned in November 2015 after the discovery of inaccuracies in financial reporting. A £12.6m deficit was discovered where a surplus of £2.2 million had been forecast.[4] In February 2016 it was expecting a deficit of £38 million for the year.[5]
