HC Deb 30 March 2004 vol 419 cc1375-6W
Tom Brake

To ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will list the hospitals in Carshalton and Wallington which ran a budget deficit in the year ending 31 March 2003; and how much this deficit was for each hospital. [163690]

Mr. Hutton

Information on deficits is available at national health service trust level and not for individual hospital units. Epsom and St. Helier NHS Trust includes St. Helier hospital, an acute hospital within Carshalton and Wellington. The 2002–03 audited NHS trust summarisation schedules show Epsom and St. Helier NHS Trust reporting a deficit of £2,193,000 in its accounts for 2002–03.
