Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what additional support her Department plans to make available to NHS trusts in Greater London facing the largest deficits, to avoid job losses.

All National Health Service trusts are required to manage their spending within the funding provided for their services by local commissioners, and in line with the plans agreed with NHS England. Trusts are expected to make local decisions about how best to deploy their workforce, balancing financial sustainability with the need to maintain safe, effective services for patients.
