Can an independent provider of NHS Services set up a spin out?
• If the intended company arises from IP developed by an independent provider as part of an R & D project, or through the use of NHS resources, then the Private Finance Unit will need to approve the business case. If the IP arises outside R & D, or no NHS resources are used to develop the IP, then the independent provider does not have to refer to the Private Finance Unit and assumes all responsibility and the risk.
