EmailThe joint venture between the Department of Health and Steria has added five East Midlands organisations and four others to existing list of about 110 clients
The newcomers are Derby City Primary Care Trust, Derbyshire County PCT, Derbyshire Mental Health Trust, East Midlands Ambulance Service, East Midlands Strategic Health Authority, Newham University Hospital NHS Trust in London, Brighton and Hove City PCT, South Downs NHS Health Trust and Clatterbridge Centre for Oncology in the Wirral.
Steria said the nine trusts represent business worth more than £8.2m in total, and will see it extending its services to another 15,000 NHS staff. It added that it now works with a quarter of all NHS trusts.
"We took the decision to move finance and accounting and payroll services to NHS Shared Business Services because we believe it will deliver real long term value to our organisation and support our drive to become World Class Commissioners," said Andrew Booth, director of finance and performance and deputy chief executive of Derby City PCT.
