Cambridgeshire & Peterborough Mental Health Partnership NHS Trust was a winner the 2005 CIPFA/PricewaterhouseCoopers Public Reporting and Accountability Awards. The awards seek to recognise best practice in public reporting in the public sector and are sponsored by the Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy (CIPFA) and PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC).

The Trust won the awards category for local organisations with an annual turnover of £50m or more. It is a designated Cambridge University Teaching Trust, which brings together mental health services previously provided by two social services departments and five NHS Trusts. It provides mental health and some specialist learning disability services throughout Cambridgeshire and Peterborough.

Its public reporting and accountability practices were judged to be the most impressive when measured against five criteria: appropriateness for particular audiences; clarity; timeliness; innovation and success in achieving response from the public and other stakeholders.
