Welcome to the MaST LIFTCo Partnership

Significantly improving the local primary care infrastructure which had seen very low levels of investment for a number of years was the UK Government’s commitment behind the NHS Plan issued in 2000. The NHS Plan emphasises the need for closer working relationships between the NHS and local government making 'joined-up' services a reality. This paves the way for the development of the 'one-stop centre' concept, with services from a number of providers accessible under one roof.

The Manchester, Salford and Trafford NHS LIFT initiative (MaST) was set up to support this vision of an accessible health service based around patients’ needs with integrated primary, community and social care services.

MaST has recently reached financial close on three prestigious NHS primary care and local authority Joint Service Centres in Salford worth £39million, now under construction. MaST has already invested £45million in building and maintaining nine new public sector buildings in Manchester, Salford and Trafford, under long term partnership agreements.

The long term private sector partner for MaST is Primary Plus Ltd. As well as MaST they are the private sector partner in five other LIFT companies with a total property portfolio of £280 million.
