The Rotherham Doncaster and South Humber NHS Foundation Trust, is a NHS Foundation Trust and Mental Healthcare Trust serving over 850,000 inhabitants of Doncaster, Rotherham and parts of South Humber. Its headquarters are situated at St Catherine's Hospital in Doncaster. It provides mental healthcare as well as contracted work for Primary Care Trusts in South Yorkshire such as training and IT.
The Doncaster and South Humber Healthcare NHS Trust was created in October 1999 following the merger of Doncaster Healthcare NHS Trust and Scunthorpe Community Health Care NHS Trust. In April 2002 the Trust took on responsibility for the delivery of mental health services in Rotherham after Rotherham Priority Health Services NHS Trust was dissolved. The Trust underwent restructuring in June 2005 following the transfer of adult and older people’s mental health services in North and North East Lincolnshire to Primary Care Trust guardianship.
It was later renamed Rotherham Doncaster and South Humber NHS Foundation Trust.
RDaSH's main base is St Catherine's Hospital, and it runs Tickhill Road Hospital as well as the now defunct Loversall Hospital. It also operates at Doncaster Royal Infirmary, Rotherham General Hospital and Doncaster Gate Hospital. The Trust's annual budget is £83 million and it employs around 2590 members of staff.
Kathryn Singh, formerly Portfolio Director for the NHS Trust Development Authority, was appointed Chief Executive in February 2015.
The trust established a new centre, Carnson House, on Moorgate Road, Rotherham which also houses the Lifeline project where the two organisations will work together to expand and strengthen recovery options available.
