CHP is the 40% shareholder on all but seven LIFT companies where 10 local authorities – Manchester, Salford, Trafford, Leeds, Newcastle, North Tyneside, Nottingham, Barnsley, Doncaster and Newham – are also shareholders.
Space (clinical and administrative) across the LIFT estates is flexible and is regularly altered to respond to commissioning plans and tenants’ needs through variations, extensions and refurbishments. CHP works with LIFT companies to deliver these for the health system.
