Millennium has been implemented, activity and therefore income
is appropriately recorded, the improvement reflects a catch up of
activity, now appropriately recorded from August to October.

1.1. The financial plan for November was to deliver a surplus of
£1.1m. The Trust actually reported a surplus of £1.2m (£0.1m
favourable against Plan).
1.2. The in- month variance is illustrated in the bridging diagram
opposite; in month variance has improved significantly from
previous months, this reflects the improvement in the income

Finance & Performance Report
1.3. The November position is a continuation of previous month‟s
trends of unachieved savings combined with budget pressures of
nursing pay (escalation costs) and medical and surgical
equipment is causing significant concern to achieving the year
end surplus target.
1.4. The SLA performance income is based on the actual activity
for November which includes an estimate for un-coded spells
and an assessment of risk of penalties and fines.

2.3. Excluding the savings targets, pressures remain on the nursing

2.1. Our year to date position is a £1.4m surplus, but shows an
adverse variance of £4.5m, against a surplus plan of £5.9m.
2.2. Slippage against savings targets accounts for £7.5m of the total
£9.3m (81%) adverse variance in expenditure, this includes the
PCT QIPP target. Therefore the shortfall of disinvestment
savings has been in part offset through income over performance
of £5m year to date.

3.1. The tables opposite highlight the main areas of overperformance against contracts.
Within the Trusts main
commissioners, over performance is being driven, in the main,
by the need to deliver the 18 week target and slippage of PCT
QIPP targets. The over performing trend has increased in month
as data quality issues associated with the implementation of
millennium have been retrospectively corrected. The income
position is based on the first draft of performance information for
April to November.
3.2. Work remains on-going for both the Trust and the PCT‟s to
recognise a realistic outturn that not only reflects current activity
levels but can also be used to inform recurrent activity levels in
the future and be used to enable effective capacity planning
3.3. Non-delivery of key national targets for both performance and
quality remains a significant contract income risk. The most
significant potential risks being: fining for non-achievement of 18week referral to treat targets; non-delivery of CQUIN and income
loss due to data quality and recording issues. Robust risk
monitoring remains in place to enable early warning of
performance and quality issues and corrective action to be
implemented where required.
Pay
3.4. The table below identifies the number of staff employed (using a
“worked” WTE measure) for October. The Trust plan in
September was 3,210 WTE versus an actual headcount of 3369

WTE (actual includes agency) i.e. an adverse variance of 159
WTE. An estimate for reduction of WTE has been included to
match the unidentified savings target; this is based on the Trust‟s
average salary cost.

3.7. Of the £1.5m nursing overspend; £1.2m (80%) relates to

To be able to fully achieve the capacity savings associated with
reductions in length of stay these beds must be closed.

Cost Improvement Plans (CIPs)
4.1. The Trust total savings target for 2011/12 is £17.3m.
4.2. This is a combination of internal efficiencies related to 2011/12
(£8.3m) and capacity reductions associated with Demand
Management schemes (£5m). In addition the Trust had £4m
unidentified CIP brought forward from 2010/11.

4.4. The year to date performance is outlined in table below, £11.3m
savings were profiled for delivery in the first eight months of
2011/12, of which £6.4m were achieved, this includes £2.9m of
income over performance offsetting the PCT QIPP non delivery
(56%).
4.5. Action plans are currently being developed in conjunction with a
review of divisional performance against forecast to close the
current gap; including mitigating schemes for non-recurrent
savings.

5.5. It is unlikely the Trust will close the full £5.7m in year savings
gap this year; the focus is to ensure that the full year gap of £4.6m is
closed to ensure the Trust is in the best position next financial year.
Schemes which have slipped in year are currently being reviewed to
ensure maximum impact of savings for 2011/12. Any shortfall against
savings is being mitigated in part through income over performance
from SLA contracts in 2011/12.
4.3. The current shortfall against the savings target of £5.8m is being
offset through non recurrent measures and the over performance
against SLA income. At this stage this income has been
assumed to be recurrent, this may be challenged by the PCT
during the 2012/13 contracting round.

IM&T project, offsetting the depreciation charge.
5.2. Current Assets: year to date have increased by £5.9m,
debtors have increased by £3m, mainly related to NHS income
for contract over performance. The Trust is having on-going
discussion with our main commissioners to resolve outstanding
queries and issues around contracts.
5.3. Current Liabilities: year to date have increased by £5.5m
mainly because invoices accrued, this reflects the difference
between timing of receipt of invoices and payment.
5.4. Capital and Reserves: Within reserves, retained earnings
have changed in line with the surplus earned for the year-todate. The Donated Asset reserve has increased by £1.4m which
reflects new assets donated to the Trust to fund the NICU
development and a transfer to income to reflect depreciation
charges on previously donated assets.

Trust Board – November 2011
Finance & Performance Report
6.1. The current cash balance is £5.0m slightly below the planned
balance of £5.1m. The cash position has deteriorated in month
due to on-going issues around income for over performance in
the month due, however, this is expected to improve over the
next month.
(94)
6.2. At this stage of the financial year we remain confident that the
cash forecast will be achieved at year end; however given the
risk to the I&E forecast outlined in section 3, the requirement to
pay back the loan, and the options regarding capital outlined
below, the cash position will need careful monitoring to ensure
we can meet our cash commitments.

8.1. The current monitor risk rating shows we would achieve a 2 as
at the end of November. This is the below the minimum risk
rating level for the Trust to be authorised as a Foundation Trust.
8.2. The Trust has a level 2 in two areas and liquidity is 4 days
which is level 1 (excluding the assumed working capital facility of
£15m available as FT). The Trust is not delivering a large
enough surplus, year to date to achieve above of 2. This is in
part driven by the lower than plan I&E surplus.
8.3. To improve this ratio for the rest of the year the Trust will need
to significantly improve its income and expenditure surplus, and
achieve further cost improvement plans.
8.4. The risk remains if the Trust does not deliver a year end
£6.2m surplus position both it‟s I&E risk ratings and cash rating
mean the Trust cannot precede to Foundation Trust
authorisation.
8.5. In addition to Monitors ratings the Trust plans to achieve the
key statutory duties for a Trust namely, breakeven duty, capital
absorption rate and better practice payment practice code.
