National Rehabilitation Hospital Business Transfer from ‘NRH Trust’ to ‘NRH CLG’
As part of an internal business restructure, the NRH will transfer its business operations to a new company limited by guarantee (CLG), with effect from 30th September 2024.
The NRH is a voluntary, publicly funded hospital which provides comprehensive specialist rehabilitation services to adult and paediatric patients from throughout Ireland. The business, assets, and liabilities of the NRH are currently held by the Trust that established the hospital (the ‘National Rehabilitation Hospital (NRH) Trust’).
The Trustees of the NRH have decided to reorganise the legal structure of the hospital and carry out the future activities of the organisation within a corporate structure, namely a company limited by guarantee (CLG). This is in keeping with its wish to maintain compliance with charity law and good corporate governance. A CLG is the typical type of corporate structure used by charities (such as the NRH) for the management of their charitable purposes.
The business, assets, and liabilities of the ‘National Rehabilitation Hospital Trust’ will be transferred to the ‘National Rehabilitation Hospital CLG’ on 30th September, 2024. The NRH will remain as a voluntary, publicly funded hospital and will continue to carry on its activities in exactly the same way after the business transfer is complete.
For patients, staff, the wider healthcare community and all other stakeholders of the NRH, the services and day to day running of the hospital will remain unaffected and there will be no difference in the way in which services are provided.
Our clinical and business policies and processes will remain the same, and our contact details, emails and website will remain the same.
Our strategy is to continue to build on our history of over 60 years. The Board of Directors of NRH CLG are committed to continuing to govern the hospital in line with the existing ethos, values, and philosophy of the NRH in the provision of high-quality care and treatment to patients from throughout Ireland, who require a programme of specialist rehabilitation services following an accident, illness or injury. NRH Services are provided to patients on the basis of clinical need, irrespective or background, creed or status.
