Whilst NHS Trusts are exempt from holding a provider licence, NHS Trusts are required to comply with conditions equivalent to the licence that NHS Improvement has deemed appropriate.  This is then used as a basis for oversight.  NHS Trusts therefore are legally subject to the equivalent of certain licence conditions and in light of this have to self-certify each year.
