What we spend and how we spend it
How are we funded?
Our main source of income is through NHS service level agreements made with the 19 clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) in the region and this is reviewed on an annual basis.
Our Patient Transport Service are all commissioned by CCGs usually in the form of a group or consortium as the services cover a geographical area larger than one single clinical commissioning group. These are subject to competitive tender and delivered in accordance with an agreed contract.
The Department of Health provides a capital allocation each year, together, with additional funding for CBRN (chemical, biological radiological, nuclear) response training.
Additional income is also generated by public events, like V Festival and commercial training, and we have charitable funds mainly made up of donations.
How we spend our money
Our Board decides how income will be spent and capital expenditure planned following a report from the Director of Finance & Commissioning who proposes budgets for the financial year. Updated budget information is shared at Board meetings every month.
