The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether his Department has direct oversight of financial efficiencies at the James Paget Trust.

Answered by Karin Smyth

The East of England Regional Team has detailed and regular engagement with the James Paget University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust to discuss both their financial position and, more specifically, the delivery of their financial efficiencies. The monthly financial position and progress in delivering efficiencies is a key aspect of the monthly System Financial Review meetings with the trust’s Chief Finance Officer, alongside the integrated care board and other trusts within the local system.

As of October 2025, the James Paget University Hospitals Trust is on track to deliver against its agreed efficiency target.
