10.  FOUNDATION TRUSTS

10.1.1  Can Monitor provide a breakdown of and commentary on the current cash balance held by Foundation Trusts? (Q118)

Answer

  1.  This information is contained in the NHS Foundation Trusts: Consolidated Accounts 2008-09, which was presented to Parliament pursuant to Schedule 8, paragraph 11(5)(a) of the National Health Service Act 2006. These were ordered to be printed by the House of Commons on 15 July 2009. NHS foundation trusts have also individually presented their reports and accounts to Parliament.

  2.  As at 31 March 2009, 115 NHS foundation trusts (being those authorised as at March 2009) had an aggregated cash balance of £2,498 million. Of this amount, £2,355 million (94%) was held with the Office of H M Paymaster General and £143 million (6%) with commercial banks and in hand. In addition, NHS foundation trusts held £258 million of investments at 31 March 2009.

  3.  These compare with £1,887 million of cash and £380 million of investments held by 89 NHS foundation trusts at 31 March 2008, an increase of £488 million in the year. Of this, £233 million is attributable to the cash holdings (as at 1 April 2008) of the 26 NHS trusts that were authorised into the NHS foundation trust sector in 2008-09. The average cash (and investments) balance per trust has decreased from £25 million to £24 million at 31 March 2009, equivalent to an average of 46 and 53 days of operating costs respectively.

  4.  The plans received from 115 NHS foundation trusts for 2010-11 show forecast cash balances reducing from £2.7 billion to £2.2 billion in the year, reflecting planned capital expenditure of £1.9 billion in the year.

  5.  See table 118 for a detailed breakdown of cash balances and investments by NHS foundation trust.
