Abstract
This paper reports the results of an investigation into the financial awareness of managers involved in the delivery of health care. It is based on a questionnaire survey of financial budget holders in all of the health units, both directly managed and NHS Trusts, within two Health Districts. The conclusion reached is that, in general, managers lack the financial awareness necessary to reach resource decisions commensurate with the financial objectives now required of the NHS and participate in informed discussion of financial matters.
