Expenses

 

Income

Our main source of income for the accident and emergency service is through NHS Service Level Agreements made with each primary care trust in London. These agreements are made on an annual basis.

Funding for chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear (CBRN) response training and equipment is allocated by the Department of Health on an annual basis.

Our Patient Transport Service is commissioned by both primary care trusts and acute trusts in London on a contractual basis.

Additional income is generated from support provided at public events, community resuscitation training, and other health-related activities.

A capital allocation is received each year from the Department of Health.

Income is allocated to services within the Trust, and capital expenditure planned, by the setting of the budget each year. In March, the trust board receives a report from the director of finance proposing budgets for the forthcoming financial year, which begins in April.

The Trust has a charitable fund, for which the main source of income is from investments.
