PCT's underspend by £33million - Lancashire Telegraph 23rd November 2007

PRIMARY care trusts in East Lancashire are underspending their budgets by almost £33 million. East Lancashire PCT, which covers Burnley, Hyndburn, Pendle, Rossendale and the Ribble Valley, is projected to have a massive £28 million left over at the end of the financial year, while predictions for the smaller Blackburn with Darwen PCT, show a surplus of £4,886,000. Both trusts, which administrate community health including GPs, dentists and health visitors, had planned for small surpluses, to save for major projects and pay any unexpected costs.
