Nurses put 999 service £10m in debt
An ambulance service is £10million in debt after taking a leading role in a scheme to ease the NHS nursing crisis.
West Yorkshire Metropolitan Ambulance Service Trust helps run the NHS Professionals scheme, which offers 36 hospitals across the country a cheaper alternative to private-sector agency nurses.
But district auditor Terry Carter said the scheme was not properly planned.
'Insufficient attention was paid to proper operational and financial control,' he added.
WYMAS was chosen by the Government to run NHS Professionals in 2000 because of its success setting up a similar service locally.
It will soon be handed over to a specialist health authority.
