A debt-ridden NHS trust which was on the brink of bankruptcy should be dissolved, an official consultation has concluded.
South London Healthcare NHS Trust, which runs three hospitals in the capital, was the first ever to be placed in administration after it started losing around ?1.3 million a week.
Special administrator Matthew Kershaw said the trust should now be broken up, with other organisations taking over the management and delivery of its services.
The report, which came after Mr Kershaw was tasked with putting the trust on a stable financial footing last year, recommended any debts should be written off by the Department of Health so new organisations are not "saddled with the issues of the past".
