Another ￡1.5bn from PCTs having to hold back 2% of their budgets, plus other accounting items, made the overall surplus nearly ￡4bn. 此外，据NHS的年度财政调查报告显示，在2011-12年，初级保健信托基金(PCTs)、战略卫生局以及各医院信托基金的预算盈余为16亿英镑；半独立信托基金会医院的预算盈余为4亿英镑；此外，由于初级保健信托基金把预算压低了2%，再加上其它的一些账目，最终促使2011-12年，NHS预算盈余达到40亿英镑。 But the disclosure prompted questions about why the NHS was carrying such large reserves when budgets were so tight and the service has to make ￡20bn of efficiency savings by 2015. 这组数据公布后，引起了人们的一系列疑问，那就是在预算整体收紧，且根据规定在2015年之前，NHS必须削减开支200亿英镑的背景下，NHS缘何还能保有如此大额的现金储备。 It is a tragedy that ￡4bn is sitting in the bank when struggling hospitals are rationing patient care, closing wards, and nurses are losing their jobs, said Christina McAnea, head of health at the union Unison, which represents 400,000 NHS staff. This would not happen if hospitals were directly run by the NHS – money could then be moved to where it is needed most, balancing the books and safeguarding patient care. 公共服务工会Unison的健康部门主管克里斯蒂娜.麦克安妮雅表示，“医院正在努力挣扎以求生存，病人所享受的服务被不断削减、病房相继关闭、护士们在失业的恐惧中度日，在这种情况下，NHS却把40亿英镑稳稳地放在银行里，这是一个莫大
