If this defecit really is only £600k and its after paying out a pretty hefty Public Dividend (not the same thing as repaying the debt), and assuming this puts Hinchingbrooke on track for a surplus next year then I really do think Circle will have achieved something no NHS management team could achieve.

As for repaying £40m of legacy debt, only an idiot would have believed that was possible as it would require an average surplus of £9m a year over 10 years (circle keep the first £5m). Wait a minute, the TDA did believe it when they appointed Circle!
