Robust financial planning, oversight and management underpin delivery of this Business Plan.
Key assumptions are as follows:
- budget confirmation pending: Our 2026-27 budget has not yet been confirmed. Current indicative planning assumes a flat-cash settlement relative to 2024-25 baseline funding
- spending review outcomes: We are awaiting outcomes from several spending review funding bids. These will determine whether certain planned activities can proceed as set out in this document
- operating model review: We are reviewing our operating model to ensure it is optimally structured to deliver 2026–29 strategy ambitions and business plan priorities. This review may result in changes to our financial profile
