The Department publishes data annually on interim support loans, including new loans issued, repaid and outstanding balances.

This report accompanies the Department’s annual report and the 2017-18 version can be found using the following link (in section 4):

The report does not include information on the interest rates charged on the interim loans issued. This can be found in attachment A for London and for England.

The report does not include information on interest paid on interim loans by each National Health Service trust and foundation trust. This can be found in attachment B for London and England.
