St James's Hospital annual report 1995

Abstract

It is with considerable satisfaction that the hospital reports a small surplus of £31,000 on a non-capital allocation of £71.422m for 1995. This position was facilitated by improved matching of expenditure with activity by budget holders in a number of key areas. This approach proved to be particularly successful in the cases of the CResT and MedEI. pilot Clinical Directorates where both financial and activity performance surpassed prior year and forecast outcomes. It is a primary objective of the hospital to extend accountability throughout the organisation in the coming years by the introduction of further directorates accompanied by the improvements in and skills necessary to support them.
