Dear Freedom of Information / Corporate Governance Team,
I hope this email finds you well.
I am a Master's student at University College London (UCL) conducting academic research on financial performance, governance, digital transformation, and organisational characteristics across NHS Trusts and NHS Foundation Trusts in England.
I have obtained most Annual Reports and Accounts through publicly available sources. However, I have been unable to locate complete copies for some financial years relating to your organisation.
I would be very grateful if you could provide electronic copies (PDF format) of any available Annual Reports and Accounts for the following financial years:
• 2020/21
• 2021/22
• 2022/23
• 2023/24
• 2024/25
I am specifically seeking the Annual Report and Accounts containing the audited financial statements (including the Statement of Comprehensive Income, Statement of Financial Position/Balance Sheet, Cash Flow Statement, Notes to the Accounts, Governance Statement and Auditor's Report), rather than Annual Quality Accounts.
Alternatively, if these documents are available online or held within an archive that is not publicly accessible from the main website, I would greatly appreciate being directed to the relevant webpage or repository.
The documents will be used solely for academic research purposes. No confidential, patient-level, commercially sensitive, or unpublished information is being requested.
Thank you very much for your time and assistance. I would be extremely grateful for any help you can provide.
Kind regards,
Freedom of Information Request – Ref: FOI 192-2026
