HSJ map: Most health economies set for hospitals deficit

It shows the net forecast financial position of all acute trusts within each of NHS England's 25 area team patches.

Red illustrates a net deficit in the 2014-15 end of year financial forecasts of the acute trusts within an area team. Blue illustrates a surplus. The results are based on forecasts and plans made in April-August 2014, collected by HSJ.
