Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Bob Blizzard (Labour). It was answered on Tuesday, 26 June 2007 on behalf of the Department of Health.
NHS Trust Deficits
- Question
- The East of England strategic health authority figures show that even though Cambridgeshire PCT has the highest funding allocation per head, it was the biggest overspender in the eastern region. My own PCT has successfully managed down its own modest deficit, but the strategic health authority took some of our money to bail out Cambridgeshire. Will my hon. Friend tell me when we will get it back?
- Answer
-
My hon. Friend has just put his finger on the unfairness of a health funding system that allowed overspending to continue, thereby taking money from other parts of the country that needed the resources to improve the health of the population. I pay tribute to his PCT, which moved from an in-year deficit in 2005-06 to a surplus last year. If his PCT has got its house in order, others can do so too.
