On my grandmother's 91st birthday (26/6/12) it's been announced that Britain's minister for health has written to the South London Healthcare NHS Trust warning it that it could be placed in administration/bankruptcy protection by the end of the week amid mounting debts.
Made up of The Princess Royal Hospital in Orpington, Queen Mary's Hospital in Sidcup and The Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Woolwich South London Healthcare is the next NHS Trust over from my local Croydon Health Service NHS Trust which runs Croydon University/Mayday Hospital. However I've heard lots of NHS Trusts across the country are facing similar financial problems.
This in simply the next phase in the ConDem coalition's NHS reforms - bankrupt the NHS Trusts to force the sale of their assets to private providers at a knock down price.
