This is a leaflet for the Health Commission in the UK. I just can't figure out what the word "trusts" refers to in this context.
" Part of our role is to award annual ratings of performance to NHS trusts through annual health check."
Thank you for you help.

'Trust' is the euphemistic name given by the Government to what are basically 'privatized' health authorities.
They may exist to run a single establishment 'XXX Hospital Trust', or a geographical area of services "YYY Regional Health Trust' (formerly Authority)
The trusts have certain budgetary reponsibilities etc., but a great deal more independence than the old authorities.

administrative bodies
for the NHS - the NHS regions are split into regional trusts.

free-standing statutory bodies
Many services in the National Health Service in the United Kingdom are provided by NHS Trusts. There are 2 major types of Trusts: Primary Care Trusts and Hospital Trusts.
Primary Care Trusts are free-standing statutory bodies responsible for delivering better health care and health improvements to their local area. They started as committees or Primary Care Groups of the Health Authority, but are no longer such.

In common law legal systems, a trust is a relationship in which a person or entity (the trustee) has legal control over certain property (the trust property or trust corpus), but is bound by fiduciary duty to exercise that legal control for the benefit of someone else (the beneficiary), according to the terms of the trust and the law. Thus, in a trust the legal ownership that the trustee has is split from the equitable or beneficial title that the beneficiary has. ...

: your legal example is right, but in NHS-speak the 'Trust' is more than just a group of trustees - your link refers to the 'Trust Board' which would correspond to this group, but the Trust itself is the whole regional organisation.

As per the NHS's website:
Authorities and Trusts are the different types of organisations that run the NHS at a local level. The whole of England is split into 28 Strategic Health Authorities (SHAs). These organisations were set up in 2002 to develop plans for improving health services in their local area and to make sure their local NHS organisations were performing well.
***Within each SHA, the NHS is split into various types of Trusts that take responsibility for running the different NHS services in your local area.***
The different Trust types are:
Acute Trusts
Ambulance Trusts
Care Trusts
Mental Health Trusts
Primary Care Trusts (PCTs)
