'Come clean' on deficit, NHS told

BBC News reports that Unison has written to the chief executives of 57 NHS trusts following York Hospital's decision announced on Monday to cut 200 jobs to save £2.5m.

The letter demands accurate information on any deficits and what measures are being planned to balance the books.

A BBC News survey in January revealed the region's NHS was £90m in the red.

In recent weeks, hospitals across England have announced thousands of job cuts in a bid to balance their books.
