Key considerations Details
Confirm whether any risks that have been identified have been recognised on a risk register and provide the reference number:
Risks within the Plan and the reported financial position presented have been outlined in section 6 and must be taken into consideration.
Risks recorded on Financial and Organisational Risk Registers include failure to deliver against recurrent CIP targets and failure to manage the Trust financial position within Plan parameters.
Specify any financial implications: Explain whether there are any associated efficiency savings or increased productivity opportunities?
The financial implications of exceeding our planned deficit and non-achievement of our CIP are related within the report.
No additional CIP or opportunities for productivity have been identified here, though on-going action to identify such CIP opportunities continues across Directorates.
Are any additional resources required e.g. staff capacity? No
Is there any current or expected impact on patient outcomes/experience/quality?
The report identifies that failure to live within our planned budget and to deliver our CIP adversely affects the financial resources available for service delivery and future service investment. This can only have an adverse impact on patient outcome, experience and service quality.
Specify whether appropriate clinical and/or stakeholder engagement has been undertaken:
(stakeholders could include staff, other Trust departments, providers, CCGs, patients, carers or the general public)

TRUST BOARD Finance Performance Report Month 11, 2015-16
31st March 2016
1. Introduction 1.1. This report details NEAS’ financial performance against our approved
Financial Plan for 2015-16, for the period ended 29th February 2016. 1.2. The overall Trust position, Service Line and Corporate services contributions
at month 10 are given along with key variances affecting our current year to date (YTD) performance. Forecast outturn (FOT) financial position, compared with Plan, is presented with latest YTD and FOT cost improvement delivery.
1.3. The following Appendices are included to support this report:
Appendix 1 - Summary Corporate YTD & FOT contribution at month 11
Appendix 2 – Financial Dashboard for Feb. 2016, with graphical representation of key financial performance and incorporating FSRR metrics from Monitor’s Risk Assurance Framework (RAF)
Appendix 3 - A monthly update on EC productivity
Appendix 4 – FOT outturn scenarios based on current performance.
Appendix 5 - An abbreviation list and glossary, for reference.
2. Executive Summary 2.1. At the end of February 2016 we are below our planned YTD normalised
deficit by £1.310m which represents a significant improvement on the month 10 reported YTD position of -£0.376m in excess of planned deficit.
2.2. Revenue is behind Plan by -£2.563m due to:
Lost in-area PTS ECR and Quota income following contract mediation.

Period to Date Forecast Out-turn
Page 4 of 20
Slow release of reserves for Resilience scheme use, with most also underspending. Matching income release to spend to date generates YTD income under-recovery against Plan of -£1.254m for Resilience reserves.
Non-release of the £1m Transformation Fund to date – although CCGs have now agreed to pay the full value this year. This generates an income shortfall against this reserve of -£0.889m YTD.
No Commercial Development income assumed in 2015-16, reducing income to date by -£0.781m compared to YTD Plan.
Some offset from ECS transfers to NSECH (£0.337m) and income for Sunderland PTS discharge resource (£0.064m) – both have now ceased.
2.3. Employee expense underspend is now £5.514m. Vacancies in ECS and Corporate functions, slippage in Commercial Development and delayed spend on Resilience schemes continue to account for most of this.
2.4. Pay savings are partly offset by YTD non-pay overspending of -£1.974m
(month 10, -£2.591m overspend). Within this:
£3.975m was spent on TPP across ECS, ICaT and PTS (a YTD overspend of -£2.929m)
Overspending on other lines include meal breaks (-£0.371m), ACS (-£0.224m) and vehicle maintenance (-£0.254m)
In month 11, spend on TPP was less than forecast, reducing budget overspend compared to month 10.
Also, YTD charges to the Contact Centre have been under-stated by £0.2m in-month, inflating the service line’s YTD non-pay underspend.
Non-pay spend includes VSS payments of -£0.215m YTD whilst unplanned ‘Payments In Lieu Of Notice’ paid to VSS staff total £0.040m to date, reported as pay costs.
The extension of the VSS scheme in Q4 is forecast to increase FOT spend to -£0.308m.
2.5. Net non-operating expenses are below YTD Plan by £0.284m (M10 £0.090m)
with under-recovery on asset sale profits from the sale of Fulbeck Grange more than offset by additional under-spend on depreciation and impairment costs.
2.6. At outturn we expect fewer asset impairments than originally planned with a higher revaluation reserve balance expected to be available against which they can be offset. This will see impairments of only -£0.147m compared to Plan of -£0.287m at year-end.
2.7. Our FOT normalised deficit is expected to improve on our planned position of
-£3.513m by £0.674m and to be -£2.839m at year-end with a surplus margin of -2.4% (an improvement of £0.730m compared to month 10).
2.8. At February 2016 our CIP shows YTD under-recovery of -£0.807m. Our latest
CIP outturn forecasts an under-recovery of -0.960m (or -14.0%) which is an improvement on month 10 CIP FOT of £0.048m. Full CIP performance analysis will be presented to the Transformation Board on 30th March 2016.

2.9. The Table below identifies the Top 10 Cost Improvement Schemes, in terms of Plan value, and their relative performance to date and in terms of forecast outturn as reported for month 11, 2015-16:
2.10. Further analysis of the YTD financial position and FOT assumptions for all service lines, reserves and corporate functions follows in Section 3 below.
3. Service Line Analysis
3.1. Emergency Care Services (ECS) 3.1..1. YTD and FOT financial contribution performance of the ECS service line:
3.1..2. YTD overspend of -£1.427m is forecast to increase to –£1.746m by year-end (Month 10 -£1.624m). Key factors are:
ECS vacancies contribute to pay savings of £1.085m YTD (compared to a pay underspend of £0.957m last month). Overtime increased in month and is now expected to remain above pre-December 2015 levels until year-end. Four Polish Paramedics commenced with NEAS on 4th March 2016 and further international recruitment identified another 20 recruits for 2016-17.
TPP resources to support core ECS cost £3.189m YTD with a further £0.130m utilised for 2015-16 winter resilience, £0.314m on ICaT and £0.033m for 2014-15 winter scheme extensions.
Overspend on ECS meal payments of £0.363m to date
These items constitute most of ECS’ non-pay overspend of -£3.540m YTD.
In terms of FOT, assumed additional 400 hpw on TPP remains in place funded through Resilience slippage with some additional provision for a further 300 hours added in March to cover Easter, etc. increasing potential hours above the previously agreed to 1,046 hpw to year-end.

Non-pay outturn still includes assumed international recruitment spend of £0.045m against a planned £0.140m this year.
3.1..3. In terms of CIP delivery, the month 11 YTD and FOT positions for ECS – split between recurrent and non-recurrent schemes – is:
3.2. Patient Transport Services (PTS) 3.2..1. YTD and FOT financial contribution performance of the PTS service line:
3.2..2. YTD overspend of -£0.026m is reported with a FOT position of -£0.187m now projected (Month 10 -£0.407m). Key factors are:
Lost PTS ECR income following mediation contributing to an under-recovery on income to date of -£0.538m and -£0.650 at outturn.
Over-activity on the Cumbria CCG contract has reduced - now expected to exceed planned income by £0.062m by March 2016.
Reductions in overtime in recent months expected to continue and underspend at year-end of £0.071m (month 10 £0.021m).
Taxi underspend increased to £0.108m in month and taxi FOT spend is estimated at £0.064m less than plan, using a rate equivalent to average YTD spend as at month 11.
ACS overspend of -£0.223m to date and £0.257m FOT.
Unplanned PTS use of TPP transport accounts for -£0.095m of non-pay expense to date (excluding EOL resilience vehicles).
Fuel underspend in PTS is £0.359m YTD and based on this we can expect a £0.396m underspend at outturn.

3.3..2. YTD reported underspend of £0.270m excludes £0.213m for Feb 2011 NDUC 111 contract fees - re-stated underspend being £0.057m. This is forecast to be £0.203m at year-end (M10 £0.239m). Key factors are:
Income is negatively affected by the loss of shared ECR income and the adverse impact of 111 performance penalties exceeding Plan – both combine to reduce overall income and create an under-recovery to Plan of -£0.349m YTD and -£0.181m FOT.
Some NHS 111 penalties are recovered through reduced fees payable to NDUC (to which £0.235m of forecast £0.242m charges relate).This contributes to the non-pay underspend forecast of £0.480m above.
Pay costs include unplanned agency spend of -£0.373m and only a small increase is forecast to bring agency FOT to £0.375m at year-end.
Pay spend also includes reduced dispatch and PTS planning overtime compared to 2015-16 (reflected in our CIP).
The beneficial impact of CC identifying CIPs above its 2015-16 target generates a non-pay underspend of £0.336m YTD (£0.367m FOT).
3.3..3. Month 11 YTD and FOT CIP delivery for Contact Centre – split between
recurrent and non-recurrent schemes – is shown below:
3.4. Commercial Business Services (CBS) 3.4..1. YTD and FOT financial contribution performance of the CBS service line:
3.4..2. Current YTD under-recovery is -£0.167m - a deterioration from previous reported position at month 10 (-£0.149m).
3.4..3. Performance is expected to worsen by year-end to an increased deficit of -£0.183m, reflecting current and future income and a significant under-recovery against CBS plans for the year.

3.4..4. In terms of CIP delivery, the month 11 YTD and FOT positions for CBS is shown below and reflects a more realistic position on CBS income plans to date and at year-end:
3.5. Corporate Directorates 3.5..1. YTD and FOT financial contribution performance of Corporate Services:
3.5..2. YTD underspend of £2.725m is forecast to be £1.152m at outturn. Key
factors are:
Commercial Development income removed - delivering a shortfall on YTD and FOT income of -£0.710m and -£0.852m respectively.
Pay savings of £1.878m to date reflect: o Finance & Resources underspend of £0.279m (£0.078m Informatics) o Workforce & OD underspends of £0.411m (excluding VSS costs) o Strategy & Contracting underspends of £0.678m (Commercial
Development slippage is £0.438m YTD) o Slipped recruitment to the new risk/claims structure (£0.184m)
Corporate pay underspend forecast to increase to £2.028m by year-end – inclusive of an assumed increase in leave accrual provision for the Trust at year-end of £0.084m.
Corporate non-pay savings of £1.254m to date becomes a -£0.445m overspend on outturn, reflecting the following adjustments: o Purchase of IT Hardware (£0.224m) and Data Line upgrades reduce
YTD underspend on IT, data lines/ telephony and licencing from £0.346m to only £0.030m at outturn
o Fleet maintenance overspend of -£0.254m increases to -£0.382m o YTD Estates and Premises cost underspend of £0.1930m becoming
a -£0.502m overspend at outturn. Outturn now includes £0.080m for HQ desk moves Provision for part-demolition of Fulbeck £0.030m Provision against Bernicia Heating case legal costs £0.4m
o IT purchases to support electronic patient care record (EPCR) replacement have reduced significantly to only £0.013m for the year.

3.6. Trust Reserves 3.6..1. 2015-16 financial plans provided for income and expenditure related to:
1. NHS 111 Green Validation development 2. Local (CCG) and National (NHS England) Resilience/ Winter funding 3. CCG Transformation Funding (part of the 2015-16 contract offer)
3.6..2. Additional contingency reserves were created for potential pressures:
4. Non-Pay inflation contingency reserve 5. Pay award reserves 6. A First Responder contingency reserve
3.6..3. After mediation - in part-mitigation for lost income - any uncommitted
spend against reserves 5 and 6 above was released, generating £0.150m from the pay award reserve and £0.024m from the First Responder to reduce our deficit.
3.6..4. Ongoing monitoring of the Clinical Hub and other resilience schemes has
led to adjustments to our FOT which reflect the latest delivery plan.
3.6..5. Slippage on clinical hub delivery in relation to recruitment of clinicians and the set-up of a specialist dispatch desk has generated significant underspend on this scheme, whilst other resilience projects such as HALO have not generated the levels of spend predicted out the outset.
3.6..6. CCGs have confirmed that there is no intention to claw-back resilience
underspends. Consequently, a provision for non-release of funds of £0.260m was removed in month 11 ensuring forecast income from these resilience reserves returns the maximum of £2.247m income at outturn.
3.6..7. Whilst discussions with CCGs on the use of the £1m Transformation Fund
to offset PTS activity pressures concluded with commissioners offsetting less than £0.4m of costs to PTS, it was confirmed that the full value of the fund would be paid this year. Consequently, the £0.5m contingency provided against this income in month 10 has been removed.
3.6..8. The table below summarises the YTD and FOT financial position of these
reserves against Plan after accounting for the above adjustments to FOT income and including carry forward of the 2014-15 resilience schemes:

3.6..9. Our YTD overspend of -£0.508m reflects income deferrals to match actual YTD expense incurred. Our FOT contribution has increased to £2.544m (from £1.537m in M11) – the over-recovery against Plan of £1.206m representing the gain to our plan from the Transformation Fund release.
3.7. Cash Position and Forecast 3.7..1. The Cash Flow summary below summarises YTD movement in cash
since 31st March 2015 and forecasts the cash balance held at year-end.
3.7..2. The key factors that have influenced our cash balance up to 29th February 2016 and that impact on the forecast cash held at 31st March 2016 are:
The cash balance at 29th February 2016 was £12.864m, an increase of £0.904m from 31st January 2016. This is £2.048m more than the Monitor Plan forecast at this date
The increase in cash of £0.904m from January is mainly due to Trade Creditors increasing by £0.528m due to a payment run crossing over into March. Also, capital expenditure was low in the month due to additional VAT recovery and again some payments being made in March
The year to date position is now £2.048m ahead of plan and this is due to a combination of 3 factors:
o YTD capital expenditure is £5.928m compared to the planned position of £8.208m, less the non-receipt of Fulbeck and Bellingham disposals, less movements in capital creditors gives a capital position of £1.322m of additional cash than planned
o The final costs for the reparation work at Scotswood House were £0.190m less than originally forecast
o An increase in trade creditors assisting the YTD position by £0.528m
There is again an improvement to the year-end forecast cash position from £9.554m at Month 10 to £10.914m at Month 11. This increase is due to a further downward revision to the year-end capital expenditure forecast, increasing the year-end cash forecast from M10 by £0.431m. The deficit position has also improved significantly from Month 10 and so this accounts for the remaining difference. There is still some uncertainty regarding the year-end position mainly due to the fact that although bills have been sent to the CCG’s for the £1m transformation funding, these

4. Strategic impact
4.1. Ensuring we deliver or improve upon our Financial Plan deficit position for 2015-16 is the key to achieving the strategic intention ‘To have sound financial health’. Improved forecast financial performance has brought a recent beneficial impact, but failure to deliver will damage our ability to be financially sustainable and viable as an organisation.
4.2. Failure to deliver our Financial Plan will have a profound impact on our ability
to carry out all other strategic intentions identified by the Trust as follows:
To lead in the provision of Emergency Care
To transform Patient Transport Services
To be a key partner in Urgent Care
To be a first rate employer
To be well governed and accountable.
4.3. Furthermore, a lack of financial resources hinders our ability to provide safe and effective services and diminishes our ability to invest in future improvements and developments.
5. Assurances
5.1. This report provides assurance that the Trust’s financial position is appropriately monitored and reported in a timely manner. It also identifies areas of concern pertaining to the financial performance of the organisation and seeks to recommend appropriate remedial action to address these.
6. Risks
6.1. The key risks arising from the financial position and Forecast Outturn presented within this report are:
To the ongoing financial viability and ongoing sustainability of the organisation posed by our deficit and the outturn forecast which, in turn, reduces our cash balance and liquidity further.
That any deficit and cash deterioration has an adverse impact on the FSRR reported to Monitor. Reduced cash balance and liquidity has been a consequence of sustained deficit over the last two financial years.
Our capped FSRR score of 2 defines us as having a ‘material level of financial risk’. Appendix 2 shows our Capital Service Cover, Liquidity and variance in I&E Margin as a % of income are all strong. However, our overall I&E margin score of 1 caps our overall risk score at 2 under the new framework. Recent recovery in our I&E Variance from Plan has, however, pushed our weighted score to 3.3 for both YTD and FOT.
This places us at risk of scrutiny from Monitor and potential investigation to assess if we are breaching the financial conditions of our Continuity of Service licence.
Achievement of long-term CIP plans remains reliant on transformational programmes of service change bringing cost reductions. Savings will not materialise this year to materially affect our deficit position this year but are pivotal in returning the Trust to financial viability in 2016-17.

That this Plan assumed receipt of £1m in income from a Transformation fund - this has been confirmed by Commissioners, fully-mitigating this risk in-year (see 3.6.7 above).
That the Plan assumed and CCGs confirmed in month 11 that clawback of funding would not be actioned. We therefore removed a provision of £0.260m against this possibility (see 3.6.6 above).
Costs of the EPCR replacement project in 2015-16 have slipped form original business case estimates. Whilst no additional costs will be incurred above those currently planned this year, there is a financial pressure being generated for 2016-17 due to slippage of supplier-related IT timelines which now need to be planned for in this context.
Our latest outturn assumes some budgets currently underspent will incur costs to budget level in the month of March. This assumption has been made following 2016-17 budget-setting and in-year budget meetings with nominated budget holders. There is a risk that not all expenditure will be delivered as expected – though this would provide a beneficial impact on our financial position for the year.
Although a number of additional provisions have been included in advance of 2015-16 year-end – for annual leave accrual and Bernicia heating dispute legal fees in particular – there remains a potential risk for further provisions increases in relation to employer liability and negligence, for which information at present is limited, which could have an adverse impact on our outturn position.
In managing our financial position, there is a risk of service delivery being affected as resource availability is impinged – with knock-on effects for service performance and the quality of services delivered.
7. Recommendations
7.1. The Board are recommended to:
Receive this update and seek clarity on the information reported.
Seek assurance that service line and corporate management, with support from the Finance Directorate and others, are progressing any available plans to address the emerging financial gap.
Require all areas of the Trust to support the Finance team in undertaking any detailed, critical reviews of spend with a view to committing to recurrent savings from 2016-17.
Ask that the Transformation Board continues to prioritise, agree and implement any cost improvement scheme, currently residing on the Trust mitigation list to deliver additional CIP during 2015-16.
