Publication of spend

As part of the government's commitment to improve the transparency of how public funds are used, central government is required to publish all expenditure over £25,000. HM Treasury has confirmed this requirement applies to all NHS bodies and as such the Trust must publish all expenditure invoices over £25,000 on a monthly basis.

Salary payments to staff are excluded from the scope of these disclosures, as are any invoices that are protected under the Data Protection Act. Recoverable VAT has been excluded from publication.
