Seventeen trusts that have not agreed control totals with NHS Improvement are predicting a combined deficit of more than £400m for 2016-17.

NHS Improvement and NHS England issued an estimated provider deficit position on Thursday morning of £580m for 2016-17, once £1.8bn of sustainability and transformation fund is included in trusts’ bottom lines.

Cambridge University Hospitals forecasts a £68.9m this year

To get STF money trusts must sign up to a control total year-end figure with the regulator, but 23 organisations have not yet agreed this.

Of the £1.8bn STF fund, £166m has been allocated to trusts that have not accepted their totals, and another £106m has not been delegated.

However, of the 23 trusts that have not accepted a control total, 17 are predicting a combined deficit of £409.6m (see box below).

This leaves an extra £130m unaccounted for in the prediction for the year.

When £272m of unallocated or rejected STF money is taken out, alongside £77m in foundation trust adjustments, which have slightly different accounting reporting rules, the total provider position is £579.8m.

The FT adjustments position includes £12.9m in sold assets.
