Newcastle upon Tyne Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is one of the Shelford Group of University Teaching Hospitals and an NHS Foundation Trust. It provides acute medical services in Newcastle upon Tyne, England, at Royal Victoria Infirmary and Freeman Hospital, the Campus for Ageing and Vitality (the former Newcastle General Hospital site), Newcastle Dental Hospital, Newcastle Fertility Centre and the Northern Genetics Service. The Great North Children's Hospital also is part of the trust and is located linked with RVI on the same site.
The Private Finance Initiative scheme at the Trust is a 38-year deal with Healthcare Support (Newcastle) Ltd, a special purpose vehicle formed in 2005 involving the Commonwealth Bank of Australia, Equion and Laing O'Rourke, Interserve and Innisfree Ltd.[3] In 2014, there was a dispute between the Trust and Laing O'Rourke over two clinical office buildings.[4]
