FINANCE: Airedale Foundation Trust cannot sustain the current level of operating costs within its income as it moves into 2013-14, the board has been warned
A planned reduction of costs across the clinical groups is needed, and productivity needs to rise.

Although the trust is in surplus, it has struggled to deliver all its cost improvement plans – especially around reducing beds.
