NHS Trusts: Finance

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what information his Department holds on levels of budget deficits at NHS trusts in Yorkshire in 2024-2025; and what estimate he has made of levels of funding for each NHS trust in Yorkshire in 2025-2026.

Answered by Karin Smyth

There are three integrated care boards (ICBs) in Yorkshire: the NHS Humber and North Yorkshire ICB; the NHS South Yorkshire ICB; and the NHS West Yorkshire ICB. All trusts in these ICBs are projecting to deliver their plan or surpluses, apart from the Mid Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust and the Airedale NHS Foundation Trust, which have provisional overspends against their plans of £19.6 million and £7.5 million respectively. Final figures for all trusts and ICBs will be published in due course, following external audit and validation. ICB allocations for 2025/26 were published on 30 January 2025, with further information available at the following link:

The three ICBs have agreed balanced plans across their systems, including providers. Routine in-year reporting data on progress against the plans by organisation is not yet available. The following table shows the total allocation for all three ICBs:
