Lord Carter of Coles’ final report sets out how non-specialist acute trusts can reduce unwarranted variation in productivity and efficiency across every area in the hospital to save the NHS £5 billion each year by 2020 to 2021. The final report builds on the findings of the interim report and sets out further findings of variation across 32 non-specialist acute trusts.
