Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells NHS seeking members

[Northerner]

An NHS trust has set out to recruit 10,000 people as members over the next 18 months in a drive to achieve foundation status by 2014.

Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells NHS Trust runs Maidstone Hospital and Tunbridge Wells Hospital, which opened in 2011.

Patients' watchdog Kent Link said it supported the move because patients' groups would have more involvement.

Foundation trusts have to be accountable to local people and members can vote for and stand as governors.
