The hospital trust which stepped in to try to save a failing surgery service is facing costs of more than ?2 million.

The East and North Herts NHS Trust ? which runs Lister Hospital in Stevenage ? took over the privately-run Lister Surgicentre on the hospital site last month amid patient safety concerns.

The Surgicentre ? renamed the Treatment Centre ? was bought by the Government from Clinicenta Ltd, which is part of parent company Carillion, for in excess of ?53 million after an inspection by health watchdog the Care Quality Commission (CQC) found an effective health, safety and welfare system was not in place.

The CQC had been in the process of suspending Clinicenta?s licence.
