Like most mental health trusts it has reduced the number of beds in order to release resources for care at home.[1]

Child and adolescent mental health services in Calderdale and Kirklees, previously delivered by Calderdale and Huddersfield NHS Foundation Trust were transferred to South West Yorkshire Partnership Foundation Trust in 2013.[2]

Locala won a tender for the Care Closer to Home contract worth £284.9m over 7 years from Greater Huddesfield and North Kirklees Clinical Commissioning Groups in June 2015 which will be delivered in a partnership with the trust, a local hospice and other third sector organisations.[3]

The trust was required to give undertakings in consideration of the Information Commissioner's Office not exercising its powers to serve an enforcement notice after it had sent patient data to the wrong address on a number of occasions.[4]

It was named by the Health Service Journal as one of the top hundred NHS trusts to work for in 2015. At that time it had 4235 full time equivalent staff and a sickness absence rate of 4.81%. 63% of staff recommend it as a place for treatment and 56% recommended it as a place to work.[5]
