SOURCE BBC NEWS: Rise in NHS foundation trusts with deficit, says Monitor
A study of the 147 NHS foundation trusts in England has found the number of those in financial trouble has nearly doubled in a year from 21 to 39. Two-thirds of England's NHS hospitals are now foundation trusts. They are not directed by government so have greater freedom to decide on the way services are run. Monitor is also investigating a further eight for potential licence breaches for issues including performance failures and financial problems.

SOURCE BBC NEWS: 'Worrying shortage of senior NHS nurses'The NHS has lost nearly 4,000 senior nursing posts since 2010, putting patient care at risk, warns the Royal College of Nursing (RCN). The NHS is in the middle of a tough drive to save £20bn by 2015. The government has claimed this can be achieved through efficiency savings and the frontline should not be harmed. But the RCN disagrees.
