BARNSLEY Hospital has made annual savings of almost £6.5m in the first year of its turnaround plan to get the hospital out of the red.
Chief executive Diane Wake said this figure was £117,000 more than expected, putting the trust £205,000 ahead of plan in total.
Ms Wake said: "This has been a most challenging year for the trust but amid financial and governance issues it has remained focused on what it does best; care for patients."

We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
