Notes:
1. Withdrew before final assessment: an application is treated as withdrawn if the applicant trust requests to be withdrawn from the process, or if the trust does not reactivate its application in a set timeframe. The effect of a withdrawal is to nullify the application in full. This means that there will no longer be an application for Monitor to consider. The support of the Secretary of State for the new application will have to be obtained before a new application can be made to Monitor.
2. Awaiting assessment by Monitor: Monitor has not completed its assessment of the NHS trust.
3. Deferred by Monitor: Monitor has discretion to defer consideration of an application to allow the NHS trust time to address issues arising since Secretary of State supported the application.
