Hinchingbrooke Hospital: Circle to withdraw from contract.
"A company which became the first private firm to manage an NHS hospital says it wants to "withdraw from its contract".
Circle Holdings, which operates Hinchingbrooke Hospital in Cambridgeshire, said its franchise is "no longer viable under current terms".
The move comes amid funding cuts and pressure on the casualty department, Circle said.
The Department of Health said it was "disappointed" in the decision.
Circle took on Hinchingbrooke in early 2012, as it faced closure."
