John Lawlor the chief executive warned in June 2015 that “grey to black clouds” are looming as cuts force the Trust to make savings of between £9m and £12m every year because changes in NHS cash allocation had led to a shift towards distributing money on the basis of “age” rather than “deprivation”.
The trust set up NTW Solutions, a subsidiary wholly owned by the trust, in March 2017. It will have 25 year lease on Monkwearmouth Hospital, Hopewood Park Hospital, Ferndene Hospital, St Nicholas’ Hospital, and Northgate Hospital, employ most of the Trust's 600 estates staff and manage the maintenance. It plans to save £3 million a year, about 10% of the budget of the transferred departments, through more efficient operation.
