Details of the Response

Thank you for your request to Ashford and St. Peter’s Hospitals NHS Trust regarding losses & special payments.


The Trust’s Deputy Director of Finance has responded.

Yes we did record such losses and special payments.

The accounts for 2008/09 showed £121k (374 cases) for losses and special payments, with the three largest being:
  • £10,460 re vandalisation of car parking machines;
  • £10,000 paid to the NHS Litigation Authority as an ex gratia payment (employers liability) for a personal injury claim;
  • £4,949 bad debt written off by the Trust's audit committee in relation to a salary overpayment, which occurred because of a delay in payroll receiving the leavers form. The debt was chased by letter but these were returned as 'addressee gone away'.

Any attachments sent with the request will available below.
