FTs could have ratings downgrade

FTs could have ratings downgrade:

NHS regulator Monitor is considering a move which could see foundation trusts having their risk rating downgraded.
Under the idea being mooted by Monitor, FTs may in future be downgraded if their private finance initiative payments amount to more than 10% of income.
In addition, there may also be downgrades if there are care failures that could impact on a provider’s financial position.Healthcare Today
