Hospitals 'regularly break the law' by not paying invoices on time A third of NHS trusts regularly break the law by failing to pay non-NHS invoices on time, an investigation has revealed.
Not a single trust included in the data made all its payments to suppliers on time last year, and 44 of them paid more than half of their invoices late.
One paid only five per cent of bills on time, while the value of another trust's overdue payments came to more than £404 million.
And combined, all 137 trusts racked up £7.9 billion which they failed to pay within the 30-day time limit during 2017-18. The Daily Mail
