THE chief executive of a NHS trust blighted by crippling debts has warned of ?huge challenges? ahead amid fears healthcare in Yorkshire?s rural communities is being sacrificed at the expense of the nation?s most deprived towns and cities.
NHS North Yorkshire and York is expected to be the only primary care trust in the country to be burdened with a multi-million pound deficit when a radical overhaul of the health service kicks in this spring.
The vast majority of the predicted ?12m debt will be passed on to the GP-led Clinical Commissioning Groups which are replacing the PCT, prompting grave fears a decade-long financial crisis which has gripped the NHS in North Yorkshire will continue.
A delegation of MPs has met with Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt to urge him to undertake a root-and-branch review of the funding formula to ensure the county, which is one of England?s most affluent areas, is given a greater windfall.
