Controversial NHS regulator Monitor has come under heavy fire for spending a third of its budget on millions of pounds of advice from four firms of finance and management consultants.
The Yorkshire Post can reveal the organisation, which regulates elite NHS foundation trusts and is taking on key powers under the Government?s much-criticised health service reforms, has forked out ?6.35m in fees since April for advice from PwC, Deloitte, KPMG and McKinsey.
The huge scale of payments was last night branded a ?gravy train? by a senior MP amid criticism over the increasing role of private sector consultants in the NHS.
Between April and January, Monitor paid PwC ?2.7m, McKinsey ?1.9m, KPMG ?900,000 and Deloitte ?800,000 for a range of projects from its ?19.5m budget.
