The NHS Trust Development Authority (NHSTDA) is an executive non-departmental public body of the Department of Health.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=About )〕 Its formation came as a result of reorganisation of the National Health Service (NHS) in England outlined in the Health and Social Care Act 2012. David Flory is its chief executive. He is to retire in May 2015. The NHSTDA exists to manage the process of NHS trusts becoming foundation trusts and to performance manage those hospital trusts that remain directly accountable to the NHS. It is the custodian of a number of Trusts which have chronic problems, and which are unlikely to survive in their present form. In March 2014 it was reported there were 20 trusts which the TDA expected to end 2013-14 in the red. The Authority compiled a categorised list of NHS trusts, segmented into six broad groups, some of which were regarded as unlikely to have a future as independent organisations but has refused to publish it. Alastair McLellan, of the ''Health Service Journal'' wrote in March 2014 "The creation of theoretically independent foundation trusts first shone the spotlight on failure at the start of the last decade and so failure has been seen as a symptom of the internal market reforms. However, the truth is the NHS has always agonised over how to deal with poor services in an effective, timely and transparent manner." It was announced in June 2015 that the chief executive posts at Monitor and the Authority were to be merged, although there will not be a complete merger of the organisations. Subsequently it was reported that the two organisations were to be completely merged. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「NHS Trust Development Authority」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
