context_page_description: Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust runs Gloucestershire Royal Hospital, an NHS district general hospital in Great Western Road, Gloucester, England. It serves western and southern Gloucestershire and parts of Herefordshire. It also runs Cheltenham General Hospital.
  The trust is currently under the leadership of chair Peter Lachecki and chief executive Deborah Lee.
context_section_description: The Trust was highlighted by NHS England as having 3 of the 148 reported never events in the period from April to September 2013.
  In 2009/10 private patients from the UK and from overseas paid the trust £4.4 million, but that had dropped to £3.2 million by 2013/14.
  A Care Quality Commission in March 2015 found insufficient consultants in emergency departments, that A&E waiting-time targets were constantly not being met and patients were having to queue in emergency department corridors for treatment.
  It was put into special measures in October 2016 after failings in financial governance.
