Hounslow PCT - financial crisis continues

Figures released this month show Hounslow Primary Care Trust (PCT) predicted to overspend its budget by 4% or over £7million this year, making it the second-highest overspending PCT in the country.

Read this alongside a second report where the PCT tops another league table by doubling the cost of penpushers through buying some highly specialised financial advice, and you really do despair.

I wonder if they'll use the West Middlesex excuse of patients not turning up for appointments.
