MFT 2026 Elections paused
Following the publication of the 10-year Health Plan for England (published in July 2025), the Government is currently progressing a new Health Bill through parliamentary processes. This Bill, published on 14th May 2026 and currently passing through Parliament, proposes to remove Governors and members from NHS Foundation Trusts. The current expected timeline is for the Government to pass this new legislation by December 2026 for implementation by March 2027.
As a result of these proposed legislative changes, MFT’s Board of Directors and Council of Governors have agreed to pause the 2026 elections.
