The NHS has been criticized for spending around £1m on outsourcing to consultants, according to the Express.co.uk.
Health chiefs at NHS Manchester came under fire from patients and MPs for the spend, which went towards experts advising them on how to save cash, as the organization is facing an £18m debt.
NHS Manchester recently entered into a ten month contract with KPMG.
Laura Roberts, NHS Manchester chief executive, told the Express: “It’s important that every opportunity to improve quality and reduce inefficiency is taken.”
