The attached table identifies the total level of loans outstanding for NHS foundation trusts as at 31 March 2018, on a current and non-current basis.</p><p> </p><p>Loans held with the Department are eliminated on consolidation to arrive at the Group’s Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. As part of presenting a consolidated set of accounts, all intra group activity (including income, expenditure, assets and liabilities generated by intra group trading) is eliminated, so as to not overstate the Group position. For individual NHS foundation trusts these loans with the Department represent a debt, but this is not the case in regards to the Group position presented in the Department’s Annual Report and Accounts as balances held and transactions related to the loans held are eliminated.</p> answering member constituency North East Cambridgeshire answering member printed Stephen Barclay question first answered 14/11/2018 16:13:24 answering member 4095 label Biography information for Steve Barclay attachment 1 file name PQ189765 formatted table.docx title PQ189765 attached table
