Foundation trusts. Power sharing.
Foundation trusts will in theory have greater freedoms over pay, non-pay rewards and recruitment, although details are still unclear. Foundations are likely to differ in their use of these powers, partly because of desire and partly because of practical limits. Taking advantage of new powers for short-term gain, at the expense of other trusts, will have negative effects if not part of a wider development of HR practice.
