The way financially-troubled parts of the NHS are being dealt with appears to be done "on the hoof", MPs say.

The Public Accounts Committee also expressed concern that ministers could not offer adequate assurances that access to good quality care would be maintained when trusts had problems.

And the MPs also suggested the reforms being introduced next year could make the situation worse.

It comes as a number of NHS bodies in England are struggling with debt.

The cross-party group of MPs said that while overall the NHS finished last year with a ?2bn surplus, the figure masked the problems developing in a number of trusts.
