The Chief Executive of private firm Circle Holdings, Steve Melton, says A&E demands, funding reductions and new inspection rules have led to the company pulling out of its contract to run Hinchingbrooke Hospital. The Department of Health said it was "disappointed" in the decision. Circle took on Hinchingbrooke in early 2012, as it faced closure. This clip is originally from Breakfast on Friday 9 January 2015.
