NHS hospital trust South London Healthcare could be dissolved and some of its services shut down as it struggles under the weight of excessive debts.
Administrators could be drafted into the trust in a matter of weeks, the health secretary warned.
The organisation, a merger of three hospital trusts, had debts of £69 million at the onset of the financial year.
The trust brought together the Princess Royal University Hospital in Bromley, Kent, the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Woolwich and the Queen Mary’s Hospital in Sidcup in 2009. The newly formed organisation took on a hefty debt pile at the time, which is mostly from the private finance initiative (PFI) used for the buildings at Orpington and Woolwich.
Patients have been reassured that services will run “as normal” in the meantime while a decision is made about the trust’s future, a spokesman from the trust said.
It is understood that ministers are looking into a rescue deal for the trust, whereby taxpayers would assume responsibility for the £2.5 billion PFI contract the trust signed up to for the two new hospitals.
If the trust is to be broken up, a stronger, more successful NHS organisation or private medical service provider could take on some of the services.
