Caring, safe and excellent Executive Summary Highlights: The month 1 position is a deficit of 0.1m, 0.2m adverse to plan. This includes 857k of one-off spend in April. Directorate positions are not shown in this report as not all budget adjustments have been completed. The plan figures reported in this report are based on a planned surplus of 226k. Since the month 1 position has been finalised the Trust s plan has been changed through agreement with the ICS to a surplus of 3.3m. This is due to additional income from the ICB and release of Provider Collaborative deferred income to fund appropriate projects. These changes will improve the plan and actual figures so do not affect the variance to plan. Excluding spend related to FY23, the FY24 spend on agency staff is 3.1m, which is 10.8% of total staff costs. Capital isn t reported this month as the Capital plan has not yet been agreed. 2

This includes 857k of one-off spend in April - 440k for agreed non-recurrent spend in FY23 where goods were not received until April ( 180k of this was not accrued by Finance in error), 267k for items relating to prior years which were not known about at year- end as they were invoiced late and 150k one-off replacement of doors and windows at the Oxford Clinic. Directorate positions are not shown in this report as not all budget adjustments have been completed. The plan figures reported in this report are based on a planned surplus of 226k. Since the month 1 position has been finalised the Trust s plan has been changed through agreement with the ICS to a surplus of 3.3m. This is due to additional income from the ICB and release of Provider Collaborative deferred income to fund capital spend. These changes will improve both the plan and the actual figures so do not affect the variance to plan. The budget adjustments to reflect these changes will be done for month 2 reporting. 3
Caring, safe and excellent 2. Pay Trends The increase in pay costs and budget in September 2021 and September 2022 reflect when the pay award was paid to staff along with back pay. The increased costs in March 2022 reflect year-end accounting adjustments for pension costs The increase in costs in March 2023 again reflect year-end accounting adjustments for pension costs and also an accrual for the government proposed back-dated non-consolidated pay award. The increase in Bank WTE in March 2023 follows the transfer to NHS Professionals 4
Caring, safe and excellent The increase in budget in Forensics in October 2022 is due to budget which was transferred from Reserves this was growth funding received from NHS England and mainly covers existing cost pressures. 6
Caring, safe and excellent 3. Agency Analysis At month 1 3.2m has been spent on agency staff. Excluding spend related to FY23, the FY24 spend on agency staff is 3.1m, which is 10.8% of total staff costs. These figures and the graphs above now include agency spend related to Covid vaccinations from April, but the figures from previous years still exclude this spend. The accruals for March and April are based on actual hours worked but rates were not available on the data provided by NHSP. Average rates per type of shift and worker were used and actual costs could vary from this. Finance and Workforce are working on understanding any differences between their figures and ensuring consistent reporting going forward. The Trust s agency target set by NHS England for FY24 is 32m. A straight line forecast of the month 1 amount would give a forecast of 38.4m, 4.8m above the target. In a recent meeting with NHS England around the Trust s financial plans for FY24 the Trust s high agency spend and being an outlier in this area were raised as the main area of concern with the Trust s financial performance. It is expected that the transfer to NHS Professionals and other initiatives from the Improving Quality Reducing Agency (IQRA) will reduce agency costs in FY24. 8
Caring, safe and excellent 4. . Cost Improvement Programme (CIP) The CIP targets and plans identified during the planning are shown in the table below. Clinical directorates are addressing CIP targets during new resource planning, meaning CIP delivered on release of additional budget. The central CIP of 1m relates to savings made by the NHSP transfer which releases the temporary staffing team budget as a saving. 9
Caring, safe and excellent 5. Out of Area Placements (OAPs) Out of Area Placements are 74k overspent at month 1 15K adverse in Oxfordshire and 59k adverse in Buckinghamshire. This includes the cost of the 4 block beds contract with currently hold with Elysium. These costs exclude Secure Transport spend which is currently 34k across the two directorates. Costs are generally down in month 1 due to low admissions and multiple discharges across the two counties. 10
Caring, safe and excellent Oxon & Bucks OAPS Spend by bed type The above graphs show a sharp increase in month 1 of FY23. This is due to allocations of costs prior to FY23 being reclaimed from national COVID funding. Oxon s month 4 decrease was due to the release of an FY21 provision. The Sharp decrease in Bucks in month 8 was also due to a release of an old year provision. Month 1 FY24 decrease is due to low new admissions and multiple discharges across the counties with a slight rise in Bucks against Acute beds. At the end of April Oxfordshire have 5 Rehab & 1 Continuing Care patients still out & Buckinghamshire have 3 Acute, 1 PICU & 1 Rehab patient still out of area. 11

Non-NHS BPPC (Better Payments Practice Code) is ahead of target. Cash is better than plan, as outlined in section 9. 14
Caring, safe and excellent 9. Reconciliation to NHSE Template The reconciliation to the NHSE template has been included previously as the financial figures reported to NHSE each month excluded income and costs related to the Section 75 pooled budgets. Revised section 75 agreements are in place now and these are no longer required to be excluded from the Trust s accounts. There will still be some minor category adjustments due to the requirements of the NHSE template but these are not material. Therefore this reconciliation is no longer required. 15
