The delivery of this business plan is supported by robust financial planning, oversight and management that includes some key assumptions:
- the NHSCFA annual government (DHSC) funding for financial year 2025 to 2026 has been confirmed at £20.193m (excl. IFRS16 funding) which includes £4.238m relating to Project Athena. Therefore, the remaining £15.955m is the authorities baseline funding to deliver its core strategic objectives. The annual capital budget for 2025 to 2026 is £2.5m
- it is anticipated there will be further cost pressures in the region of £500k to £1m above the current growth and inflation assumptions, however a balanced budget will be achieved
- the organisation is waiting on the outcome of a number of 2025 to 2026 spending review funding bids, which will determine whether some areas of activity within this plan will continue
