A move to take a hospital out of NHS control into private ownership has been quashed by the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospitals NHS Trust (NNUH).

Unison, which represents hospital workers, said it had raised concerns over mutualisation at the NNUH.

This would have allowed the trust to stop becoming wholly owned by the NHS in favour of being owned by different stakeholders including staff.

A trust spokeswoman said it preferred to "engage staff" in other ways.

The mutualisation scheme was introduced by Cabinet Office minister Francis Maude and health minister Norman Lamb to improve staff morale and engagement.
