More than one in three NHS trusts in England have plunged into the red and and now have combined deficits of £241m, according to a new survey.

Labour claimed the Government had “lost its grip” on NHS finances as the latest official figures showed that 58 trusts were in deficit in January – up from 16 in 2010. In all regions of England, NHS finances worsened in the 2013-14 financial year which ended in March. Trusts in the east of England had run up deficits of £97.4m between them by January; in the East Midlands the figure was £92.3m and in London £85.2m.
