Humber NHS Foundation Trust provides mental health, learning disability, community and addictions services to people in Hull and the East Riding of Yorkshire, England.It employs nearly 3000 staff.

It was the first Mental Health Trust to use Lorenzo patient record systems part of the now discredited NPfIT.

The hospital closed 18 of its 30 beds in July 2013 at East Riding Community Hospital in Beverley after a Care Quality Commission report said 65% of its nurses were "not fully competent", but at an unannounced inspection in October 2013 it was found to have met the required standards.[1]

In 2014 CQC inspectors found there were long waiting times for children and young people and that community nurses were failing to meet four-hour targets for urgent referrals. Children requiring speech and language therapy were also facing long delays for treatment.[2]
