Hospitals relying on 'emergency' loans to cover costs

Hospitals relying on 'emergency' loans to cover costs Hospitals in England are "lurching" from month to month on "emergency" government loans to cover costs, a think tank has said.

The Nuffield Trust said some NHS hospitals had to cut spending on patients to pay the interest.

Trusts owed £10bn to the government in 2018-19 for "interim revenue support" and paid £185m in interest last year. BBC News
