Finance Report
Ms Michelle Iliffe, Chief Financial Officer presented a
report outlining the position for CCG delegated budgets
and for Leicester City budgets (Paper K).
At the Board to Board meeting the CCG advised there
was a year-to-date under spend of £1.1m. There are
two main risks; prescribing spend and transformation
funds. Detailed projects plans have been asked for so
that any underspend from the transformation fund will
be clear. Within the pharmacy contract there will be
some Category M price changes in October and this will
have an impact on prices and refunds. Money will need
to be moved between the budgets to meet this cost.
This will not affect the prescribing incentive schemes in
place.
Formal notification of the CCG running cost amount per
head of population is awaited with detail of what is
included within that figure.
The current uncommitted expenditure has increased to
£1.5m. The finance team is doing some work on the
underlying recurrent position to ensure it is driven by the
ledger. The outcome of that will inform financial
planning and resources going forward and to identify
how much can be committed recurrently. There will
again be the requirement to create a 2% transformation
fund. The CCG will be looking at the options on 6
December.
Professor Farooqi said the CCG was now in a position
to plan and identify areas for investment. The Cluster is
looking at ways the CCG can extend plans for at least
two years to realise longer term schemes and gains.
