Minutes:
Received a presentation from Harry Turner (NHS Haringey Director of Finance) on the budget setting for 2009/10, which was £30 million less than last year’s budget due to cost, allocation and other pressures. Tracey Baldwin (NHS Haringey Chief Executive) and Richard Sumray (NHS Haringey Director) were also in attendance.
The presentation outlined actions taken to deal with these pressures which had reduced the gap in funding to £16 million. Further actions had been proposed to further close the funding gap and minimise the impact on services.
The following was noted in response to discussions, concerns and questions:
- the late notification of changes in tariffs and the resource allocation formula which had disrupted and delayed NHS Haringey’s budget process
- changes to the resource allocation formula reducing Haringey to floor level growth of 5.1% baseline and asking for reasons why it was so low; and
- the introduction of the new national tariff for acute services (HRG4), which, although intended to be cost neutral, has proven to be a cost pressure on NHS Haringey.
· write to OSC with figures about access to sexual health services & Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STD).
· write to OSC about NHS waiting times for new patients to sexual health services.
· return to present the NHS Haringey budget to OSC when it had been finalised
RESOLVED
That the presentation be noted.
