Editor’s blog Thursday 15 July 2010: Guardian outs missing piece of the data jigsaw

Again, well done to The Guardian's Datablog team for bringing attention to the work done by "Where Does My Money Go?, to whom also congratulations.

This is what the future is going to look like, everybody. Get ready.

The Guardian report by Lisa Evans says that "320 NHS trusts and foundations ... completed this form last year".

But that's not everybody, is it?

There are:
151 PCTs,
169 acute trusts (many of which are FTs),
58 mental health trusts (40 of which are FTs),
11 care trusts (2 of which are FTs),
12 ambulance trusts,
10 SHAs, and
9 special health authorities.

Looks like they added up PCTs and acutes?
