Publication of Spend Over £25k

As part of the government’s commitment to greater transparency, there is a requirement to publish online, central government expenditure over £25,000.

Following discussions with the Department, HM Treasury have confirmed that this requirement will also apply to NHS bodies.

Financial performance

In the coming financial year we have been allocated £325 million of funding which we will use to ensure that healthcare services that reflect the wishes of our local population are provided.

The PCT’s Professional Executive Committee makes decisions regarding the allocation of financial resources and the PCT Board receives minutes of this committee. It is a key target, set by the Department of Health, for the PCT to achieve financial balance at the end of each financial year.

The PCT produces a Finance Report for each Board meeting. This information will be posted on the PCT’s website.

NHS North Somerset makes available as much information as possible about the sources of, and state of its finances. In certain circumstances information intended for future publication, audit material, personal information, commercial or confidential information and criminal and regulatory investigative material or law enforcement material will be exempt from publication. If you require any information about our financial position, please contact our Publication Scheme Coordinator.
