The Pennine Acute Trust Annual Report

Date published: 23 February 2008

Pennine Acute Trust runs Rochdale Infirmary, Bury’s Fairfield General Hospital, North Manchester General Hospital, The Royal Oldham Hospital and also has services at Birch Hill Hospital. The Trust says it is "keen to hear views/suggestions for both the best format and most suitable content" for the 2007/08 annual report, which will be published in September 2008.

Last year’s report was primarily produced as a pdf, available on CD-Rom or via the Trust web site. An email providing a link to the online version was circulated, and a link was contained in the Trust's monthly key stakeholder bulletin.

In addition, a total of 500 CD-Roms were distributed with cover letters, and a limited number of hard copies (150) were produced, aimed at attendees at the Trust's Annual General Meeting. Additional copies, and different formats were available on request (as with previous years). The Trust received only a handful of requests for additional copies.
