Free audit reveals £8M savings
A CLUSTER of Primary Care Trusts has been shown it has the potential to make savings of around £8M a year.
One of the five trusts which makes up the cluster took up Matrix SCM’s offer to stage a discovery audit which examined its £5M annual spend on continuing health care.
The audit showed that the Trust could save 10% of the £5M direct cost of continuing health care provision and a further £228K a year on process efficiencies. Across the cluster, which spends £80M a year on continuing health care, savings could be £8M.
