Hospitals 'waste more money' after hiring management consultants NHS trusts which hire management consultants in a bid to cut costs end up spending more, new research suggests.
The study led by Bristol University said health service spending on such firms doubled between 2010 and 2014.
And analysis of spending by 120 NHS trusts suggests that the more they spend on management consultants, the less efficient they became.
Every £100,000 spent on such firms was associated with extra costs of around £900, the research found - amounting to losses of around £11,000 for the average trust. The Daily Telegraph
