Introduction
Mersey Care NHS Trust is established with the aim of streamlining the health system. In the 1980s health was not well organized, the government uses to provide funding doctors and professionals to meet directly for the provision of healthcare services. But this system was overwhelming as more and more to wait to have the opportunity to access health services. This was the reason that the idea came from the trusts. The first NHS trust was established in 1991 and was intended to finance health care. This remains the main objective to present and applies to Mersey Care NHS Trust. (Katherine, 2002)
Environmental factors affecting the industry
This will be accomplished through the STEEPLE analysis as shown below
Social factors
When Mersey Trust intends to make abrupt changes in its disposition, structure and other aspects, it is necessary to consider the community, which are the main beneficiaries of the decisions taken by the trust. The NHS Trust has to study to note that the number of patients is increasing and there is still much be done to reduce waiting times and quality of health care provided to these numbers growing. They must ensure that patients have been adequately addressed. (Katherine, 2002)
Staff members should be incorporated into any changes that the Trust intends to compromise. Keep in mind that changes in personal payments or conditions of employees are kept to the minimum in order to reduce friction and possible clashes have been in the past similar NHS Trusts.
The Trust has to deal with conflicting roles. You must meet its humanitarian aspect of helping those who need assistance on health care. In addition, it also has to deal with the fact that we still have to consider market forces in their implementation activities. This can be a difficult task. (Legge, 2004)
Technological factors
The Trust must include progress technological management. Technological progress should also be incorporated in the organization information system for accountability and good governance are promoted.
Economic factors
Mersey Care has to deal with increased competition among providers that has occurred after several independent providers of health services have been mandated to provide services to patients. In addition, there have been some centers treatment and diagnosis have been commissioned. That means that the Fund should focus largely on the implementation activity. (Black, 2003)
There are a number partners in providing health care. These should be incorporated into the management of the Fund. The policies within the organization should be such that promote associations already in existence or to be made in the future.
Political factors
In 2005, the Commissioner a patient led NHS trust. This means that Mersey care must adapt to this new reform as described in the Department of Health (2005). In addition, confidence has to do with recent government pronouncements than most third-sector contributors on legal services. This implies that policies by Mersey Trust need to be consistent with these provisions is, they must be challenged and plurality should be reflected in their policies. (Phegan, 2000)
Legal factors
The trust also must be careful in deciding who will purchase health services and that their decisions can be challenged before the courts. This is most evident when a similar Trust Mersey Care was taken to court by a patient after patient dissatisfaction with the tenderer selected, the offeror United Health Europe Limited.
According to Health and Welfare enacted in 2001, NHS trusts need to participate in a lot of consultation prior to the reorganization of the provision of service or prior to testing new services on the market. If Mersey care plans do this, then
The organization has to consider legal issues to decide on a provider that will purchase health services. The Trust must ensure that the group you have in mind is a legal person and have fulfilled all legal requirements necessary for any health care provider
The environmental factors
The trust must be involved in projects that are geared towards the restoration of a safe environment. Some of the projects likely be carried out by the Foundation include cleaning projects as part of an effort to return to the Community.
How external factors impact on business strategies and suppliers.
The main factor affecting the strategy Mersey Trust is political in nature. The government states that it must be greater public involvement in the NHS. Mersey has to act in compliance with this requirement. The organization has adopted a strategy that involves more than citizens in policy decisions.
The Foundation has a forum to resolve complaints through the grievance procedure. In addition, patients may be able to contribute ideas on the plans will be implemented by the Trust. Sometimes, the Fund asks audience members what their opinion is through questionnaires and interviews showed that some parts of the Trust to involve users in improving services. However, there is a lot that can be threshold done in this area. (Murray, 2003)
This strategy is a very appropriate one, since it contributes to improving quality. The purpose or the Fund was to meet health of patients and when they are involved in the process then the trust is able to obtain first hand information about what it takes to satisfy the consumer final.
Potential contribution that should play the role of personal development and intensified competition for
Staff can participate in development functions across a variety of ways. The first is that they can increase their capacity to respond. This can be seen during requirements of patients increased. Employees can increase efficiency and effectiveness in times of increased competition. (Hill and Jones, 2001)
Staff also can play its role in development through their participation in training programs. Vocational education is crucial in this type of scenario. Be increased their expertise and make them better equipped to deal with increased rivalry.
Finally, staff can play its role in the development through participation in innovative ideas and practices. Innovation is vital to improve the way services are delivered. The staff should always be engaged in the process of redesigning and improving services. This will give the organization an additional advantage compared to other competitors that can be used for media conventional service delivery.
Marketing policies and methods adopted by the organization and whether they support the business strategy

(Dopson, 2003) This covers notify the public about a publishing company through in the media. It is also to evaluate media statements about the services offered by the company or other company issues. Mersey Care has also promoted goodwill among their target market through programs, events, and charities for the community. Public relations essential in the marketing policy of the Trust because it makes the image of the company and is based on product as well. The advantage with the use of public relations is that when the media mentioning the organization, which provides additional information about the company so the sale of its services.
This trade policy compatible with the business strategy as it is consistent with the public including the provision of services by the NHS. (Hyde, 2004)
Style organizational relationships taken and if it supports the business strategy
The Care Trust has created a structure organizational giving promotions based on experience and merit. Moreover, the structure of good communication in the Trust has ensured that staff members easily and freely communicate. Also the management structure is very effective, that employees know what is expected of them in the performance of their duties and their supervisors are. (Short-Ell, 1997)
All the above modes of organizational relationships are a style appropriate because they create an organizational climate that is conducive for the care of patient service is the overarching business strategy. (Handy, 1999)
