Community Health Partnerships

Community Health Partnerships (formerly Partnerships for Health) is a Department of Health owned company in the United Kingdom. Its role is to set up public-private partnerships to invest in new healthcare facilities in England via the NHS Local Improvement Finance Trust programme.

The company was established in 2001 as Partnerships for Health, a joint venture between the Department of Health and Partnerships UK. In December 2006, the Department of Health acquired the full shareholding of the partnership and it was renamed Community Health Partnerships in November 2007.

Its current portfolio is over 300 buildings which directly benefit the public by offering modern, well-designed health care facilities. These range from NHS foundation trusts, general practitioners, dentists, and pharmacies amongst others.[1]

In 2019 it was reported that its proposals for a new form of private finance initiative were being considered by Princess Alexandra Hospital NHS Trust for the rebuilding of its hospital in Harlow.[2]
