LIFT (Local Improvement Finance Trust) Companies are locally based joint ventures between the public and private sectors, which bring together the resources and expertise to design, build, fund and operate multi-use health facilities in some of the most disadvantaged parts of the country.
There are 49 LIFT companies delivering health properties and services within areas of greatest need and bringing real social value and health benefit to those communities.
Overall investment exceeds £2.5 billion and has delivered 350 facilities.
Through our ongoing partnership with LIFTCos we ensure the buildings are maintained to year one standard, so there are no backlog maintenance concerns across the portfolio. We also have a pre-procured supply chain through our public private partnership model which enables us to respond to NHS need to flex and repurpose space to meet changing care delivery needs.
There are 308 CHP-managed LIFT (Local Improvement Finance Trust) buildings across England.
