In 1993, the "Royal Berkshire and Battle Hospitals NHS Trust" was formed, to manage both the Royal Berkshire Hospital and Battle Hospital, the town's other general hospital. On 24 February 2006, The Queen accompanied by The Duke of Edinburgh opened the new buildings of the Royal Berkshire Hospital. This was to celebrate the completion of an eight-year project to move the Battle Hospital services onto the Royal Berkshire Hospital site. In August of the same year, the trust became an NHS Foundation Trust under the name of "Royal Berkshire NHS Foundation Trust", reflecting both its new status and the closure of Battle Hospital.
