Leeds FT expects £2.3m surplus

Delivering the surplus would require the trust to make more than £7m in savings – 4.5 per cent of its operating expenditure.

Board papers said £1.3m of these savings are identified as a ‘financial risk’ with income generation schemes being seen as very high risk.

The trust is also exploring a number of ‘terms and conditions’ options which are not included in this, according to board papers.
