The Health Foundation distributes over £15 million annually through its programmes.

- Improving quality and performance in healthcare delivery; encouraging the uptake and spread of best practice.
The Foundation began life in 1998 when it was endowed following the sale of the PPP Healthcare Group. It was known until July 2003 as The PPP Foundation. During the last two years staff has become increasingly aware that the Foundation is trading not solely in money – grants, project support, etc – but also in knowledge. |
