Great Ormond Street Hospital alone wrote of $6m dollars worth of debt owed for work done for private concerns.

Some of the outstanding debts are from the Kuwaiti Government, a Greek insurance company amd Bupa, one of the larger insurance companies in Britain.

For anyone that doesn't know, there are about 50-60 NHS Trusts in the UK, all of varying sizes.
