An NHS hospital trust has been formally warned it could be declared bust - in the first case of its kind.
South London Healthcare, a merger of three hospital trusts, had a £69m debt at the start of the financial year.
Chris Streather, chief executive of the Trust, told the Today programme that there is a "huge gap" in their financial plan.
If being declared bust solves that problem, he said, it is "absolutely welcome and is helpful".
"The most important thing is that the health needs of the local population are sorted out," he said. #health #NHS #trust
