Minutes of the Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland PCT ... - NHS

Paper A
LLR PCT Cluster Board meeting
14 June 2012
The return of nominal roll confirmation forms has improved this month
to 50%, but is still below what is expected.
Budget holder workshops are taking place in May to advise budget
holders regarding the new coding structure, which takes account of
destination organisation requirements.
The resource limits for NHS LC of £562.65m and NHS LCR of
£976.22m are expected to be the final resource limits for each PCT.
These will be confirmed to the Cluster by the Department of Health
during May.
The final use of in-year flexibilities was also noted. In line with the
delegated approval given by the Cluster Board in March 2012 final
adjustments were made to the expenditure proposals right up to 31
March to ensure that residual expenditure was managed in line with the
resources available to each PCT.
Mr Mell asked about the month 12 position regarding UHL. Dr Freeman
said that at month 12 there were still disputes in relation to follow-up
ratios, changes in A&E coding etc; these sums of approximately £3m
will continue to be disputed during 2012-2013. Ms Bishop said that she
had written to the Director of Finance at UHL as part of the usual year
end process of agreeing balances with other bodies. An agreement
was reached on the numbers to be reflected in the accounts, but there
remain contractual differences between the two organisations. Dr
Freeman noted that the disputed sums are being shown as paid in the
UHL financial plan. Mrs Ellis said that she had raised this with the UHL
Chair after the UHL public Board meeting on 26 th April 2012
It was RESOLVED
- to note the finance report for the month ended 31 March 2012.
- to delegate authority to approve the final 2011/12 accounts to the
Audit Committee.
