Brief summary of report
• The Trust reported a £1.60m surplus in January, £0.14m above the budgeted plan. The YTD position now stands at a surplus of £3.83m, £2.56m ahead of plan.
• The Forecast position for 2017/18 before any additional STF incentive income is a £3.02m surplus. The
Trust has been notified by NHS Improvement that there will be a STF incentive scheme of £1 for every £1 that a Trust exceeds its control total. Including this income, an additional £3.28m, the current final forecast for 2017/18 is a surplus of £6.30m.
• In month the R&D department released £0.58m non-recurrent income in order to meet their annual
contribution target. The Trust financial position YTD excluding non-recurrent Right to Light, STF income and the aforementioned R&D income is a surplus of £0.49m. The underlying full year forecast excluding these items is a surplus of £0.05m.
• The favourable variance to plan in month is largely due to planned high levels of NHS activity, a YTD catch-up relating to Education income and continued underspends within Pay costs.
• Commercial Trading Units reported a surplus of £0.43m in month, which was above planned levels by £0.01m. YTD Commercial Trading Units are now above plan by £0.48m. The full year forecast position is for a surplus of £3.58m.
• YTD efficiency scheme achievement now stands at £5.48m against a YTD target of £6.50m, a shortfall YTD
of £1.02m/ 15.7%. • Cash balance was £45.50m at the end of January, £3.80m above plan.

In Month Year to Date Key Risks and Actions RequiredFull Year Forecast
Income and Expenditure • The full year forecast is to achieve a surplus of
£6.30m which includes an additional £3.28m Sustainability and Transformation Incentive Funding. Total STF monies in 2017/18 are forecast to be £4.58m.
• The current CIP forecast is to deliver £6.92m efficiency savings in year, £1.28m below the target of £8.20m. Central non-recurrent benefits will mitigate the shortfall in year but delivery remains a key risk moving forward.
• Further risk persists regarding the Pay run-rate, particularly within Admin and Clerical staff, which has been steadily increasing in recent months. The Access directorate and Moorfields South continue to materially overspend within Admin and Clerical staff.
Use of Resources Rating • Use of resources rating for the Trust at January
YTD is 1. Cash flow and Balance Sheet • Cash balance was £45.5m at the end of January,
£3.8m above plan. • The non-recurrent I&E release of income to meet
contribution targets (eg. R&D in month) is a risk to the cash forecast, in particular given the value of our total creditors.
• Capital expenditure YTD is £6.22m with an annual forecast of £11.22m.
• Overdue debt has increased by £0.6m in January to £9.23m.

Variance Analysis
Commentary
• NHS Clinical Income and Commercial Trading income
variances are explained in more detail elsewhere within this report.
• Other income is £2,536k (13.7%) ahead of plan YTD. The
favourable position is due to the receipt of £1,650k rights to light settlement, and a £584k YTD adjustment relating to
R&D income. There has also been a number of minor non-
recurrent benefits in year, largely relating to Education
income.
• Nursing Pay costs are £30k underspent in January and are
now on plan YTD. There are significant vacancy levels at City
Road, within both Theatres and A&E. This has largely been offset through the year by an overspent position at
Moorfields South which is staffing to levels above the agreed
establishment. A revised Urgent Care establishment has been agreed and further work is being undertaken to
redesign the Nursing provision across Moorfields South.
• Admin and Clerical Pay costs are £190k/ 7.0% overspent in
January and now stand £1,038k/ 4.4% overspent YTD. The
Access directorate and Moorfields South are both staffing to above established levels and using significant levels of
temporary staff to cover vacancies. The average monthly
spend on Admin and Clerical staff has increased by £150k per
month in the second half of the year compared to the first half of the year. A business case is being prepared that
redesigns the provision and delivery of administrative
services across the Trust.
• STT Pay costs are £175k (13.6%) underspent in January and
£1,263k (10.5%) YTD. The vacancy rate stands at 8.1% in
January, with a significant level of vacancies within
Ophthalmic services at City Road. Work is underway to re -work all STT establishments, based on current rotas to
ensure the correct establishments are in place. Any excess
budgets will be given up to contribute to divisional CIP targets (having already been released non-recurrently).

City Road is £43k ahead of its contribution target in month (£90k behind plan YTD) but this includes a
£75k contribution related to Moorfields South injection activity that has been transferred to City Road
during the St Georges decant, and a non-recurrent benefit of £125k relating to 2016/17. There was a YTD
benefit in month of £45k relating to Education funding for Pre-registration pharmacists. A&E activity
continues to materially under-perform with attendances over 1,000/ 11.7% below plan. Significant
vacancies within STT staff and within Theatres and A&E nursing have driven a pay underspend in month
of £289k. The non-pay overspend of £113k is related to high cost drug injection activity.Access directorate is £102k overspent in month and now stands £444k overspent YTD. The poor
position in month and YTD is related to overspends on junior Admin and Clerical staff in the Booking
centre, which is being staffed above agreed establishment levels, largely with temporary staff, and the
under-achievement of CIP targets. A trustwide Admin and Clerical staffing review is being led by the
Deputy Chief Operating Officer.
Moorfields North is £98k behind its contribution target in month and now stands £1,028k behind plan
YTD. Income is £37k ahead of plan in month due to high activity at Bedford and high levels of injection
activity, both of which are driving the YTD income over-performance. The high activity at Bedford and
within injections has driven the non-pay overspend of £117k in month and £1,635k YTD with a YTD
overspend of £1,047k on high cost drugs and £113k on the Bedford SLA. There is also a YTD under-
achievement of £546k within non-pay relating to CIP performance.
Moorfields South is £398k behind its contribution target in month and now stands £923k behind plan
YTD. There is a slight mitigation of £75k relating to high cost drug injection activity sitting within City
Road division resulting from the St Georges decant. 5 days activity were lost at St Georges due to the
decant which has driven the income performance in month, £407k behind plan. The pay overspend of
£32k represents an improvement in the run-rate, resulting from the lower levels of activity, however
there remains an over-establishment of junior Admin and Clerical staff. Costs of £50k relating to St
Anthonys have been included in the position for which funding has been drawn from reserves.Estates and Facil ities is £17k overspent in month but remains underspent YTD, by £239k. There was an
under-achievement of income in month by £15k which is due to lower rental receipts relating to Kemp
House. High equipment maintenance costs in month have contributed to a non-pay overspend of £11k.

Corporate
Corporate is £265k underspent in month and now stands £2,073k underspent YTD. The positive position
in month is due to the release of an additional £271k Education income above planned levels, for which
corresponding costs have been incurred YTD. The YTD underspend has been driven by the phasing of the
release of Education income, and lower interest costs than planned relating to Project Oriel.
Right to l ight income (£1,650k) and lower dividend than planned.

Divisional Financial Performance

NHS Income
Commentary
• A&E activity has under-performed in month
by 1,019 attendances and is the second lowest month for actual activity at 7,665
attendances so far this year. The reducing
trend in A&E attendances is seasonal with spring, and specifically the hay fever season
tending to drive the highest activity levels.
• Elective activity is 347 spells (10.8%) below plan in month, under performing by £0.33m
(9.3%). In actual terms the Trust recorded
just above an average level of elective
activity for the year, £0.08m above the YTD trend. YTD there remains a significant
under-performance of 952 spells / £0.78m.
This is largely related to City Road, although
there is also a material under-performance across Moorfields North. Sub-specialities at
City Road have been made aware of the
required throughput by week to recover
their activity plans; this will continue to be monitored within divisional performance
reviews to be able to build on the improved
performance in October and November.
• High cost drug injection activity is 169
injections (5%) above plan in month, giving a
favourable income variance of £0.13m. YTD there remains a significant over-
performance of 2,566 injections / £2.0m,
which is evenly spread across the 3 divisions.
• Outpatients under performed by 302 (0.6%)
attendances in January leading to an income
under-performance of £0.14m. Actual
activity levels were the second highest seen this year which was due to having 22
working days in the month.

Elective Activity Analysis (Inpatients and Outpatients)
• January elective income was below planned levels by
£329k.
• Average elective income was £153k per working day,
below the plan of £165k. The actual income
generated per working day is lower than most of the
year. In actual activity terms January had 2,879
spells in month.
• Overall elective activity was significantly below plan
in January, with under-performances in Adnexal,
cataracts and Glaucoma.
• January outpatient income was just below planned
levels across most sites and specialities. Activity
levels across out-patient specialties were higher than
normal. This was expected as January had 22
working days.
• Average outpatient income was £259k per working
day, below the plan of £261k. Outpatient first
appointments were above plan in month by £70k and
follow-ups were below plan by £204k in month.
• The over-performance against plan was in City Road
with the South and North divisions having an
underperformance. The January outpatient total
activity undertaken was the second highest so far
YTD.

NHS Operating Expenditure – Pay Costs by Staff Group and Area
• Average other clinical pay expenditure in month is £1,108k, which is above by £28k, the
2017/18 year to date averaged expenditure of £1,080k.
• The vacancy rate stands at 8.1% in January, with significant vacancies in Ophthalmic
Services. Non-recurrent benefits relating to prior year temporary staffing accruals have led
to the improved position at City Road in month. The adverse movement in Corporate is a
YTD cross-charge from City Road.
• Average non clinical pay expenditure in month is £3,055k, which is £403k above the 2017/18
year to date averaged expenditure of £2,652k.
• The large movement is driven by a re-coding from non-pay to pay of apprenticeship costs
within Corporate.
• Moorfields South and Access continue to staff materially above agreed establishment levels
and are driving the continued increase in the Admin and Clerical run-rate.
• Average nursing pay expenditure in month is £2,041k, which is £5k below the 2017/18 year
to date averaged expenditure of £2,046k.
• The vacancy rate stands at 14.2% in January with significant vacancies remaining in
Theatres and A&E at City Road.
• Overall Nursing expenditure has been relatively stable over the past 4 months .
• Average medical pay expenditure this month is £2,564k, which is £79k below the 2017/18
year to date averaged expenditure of £2,643k.
• The reduction in expenditure is due to activity at Moorfields South. Due to the St Georges
decant to St Anthony’s in January 5 days of clinical activity were lost, resu lting in reduced
levels of additional Medical sessions being paid.

NHS Operating Expenditure – Pay Costs Agency and Bank Analysis
• Nursing expenditure in January has
remained broadly equal in terms of
the split between substantive and
temporary compared to the YTD
average.
• The vacancy rate in month is 14.2%, a
small improvement in the levels seen
in recent months.
• The high vacancy rate is driven by
A&E and Theatres at City Road.
• There has been a slight increase in the
level of Bank usage within Medical
staff in January, increasing by 2% to
10% of the total (although this is in
line with last month).
• Vacancies have remained consistent
within certain junior doctor staff
groups, notably Adnexal and
Glaucoma.
• Non-clinical staff groups make use of
the highest proportion of agency at
5%. Bank usage is 15%. • The above figures are consistent with
the YTD average but a slight
improvement from 2016/17,
demonstrating a shift from agency
staff to bank.
• The non-clinical vacancy rate is 17.0%.

areas; in particular relating to Catering, Hybrid Mail and Interpreting services.

Actions on Shortfall and Unidentified Amount
Achievement YTD is £244k against a target of £630k; slippage is largely related to a proposed Admin restructure, the St Georges SLA
and reducing the DNA rate. In mitigation the division is undergoing a major refurbishment at St Georges and has decanted to St
Anthonys hospital in January.
Achievement YTD is £3,055k against a target of £3,201k. The division is on plan to meet its CIP target, which accounts for almost half
of the Trust total. A quarter of the schemes are non-recurrent and the division is working to ensure that these schemes are made
recurrent leading into 2018/19. Detailed establishment reviews are being undertaken and some high volume and cost procurement
contracts are currently out to tender.
Achievement YTD is £617k against a target of £967k. A number of non-recurrent schemes have been identified in recent months
relating to Pay vacancies. The division is working to ensure that these savings can be made recurrent moving into 2018/19.
Achievement YTD is £233k against a target of £295k, slippage is related to a DNA reduction scheme and Admin restructure.

In Month Year to Date
Research and Development Position
Commercial Trading Unit Position
In month R&D income is £0.39m above plan due to the release of non-recurrent income relating to the Reading Centre.
The release of non-recurrent income in month ensures that R&D will meet its contribution target of £0.99m for 2018/19. The identification, deve lopment and delivery of a sustainable and
recurrent R&D contribution is a key priority for the department moving into 2018/19.
YTD commercial income is slightly above plan at £22.46m. Forecast for the full year is to achieve the planned income level of £2 7.21m.
Expenditure YTD is £0.28m below plan at £18.19m. Full year expenditure is expected to be on plan at £22.33m. In month performance was a £0.43m surplus, £0.01m above plan, YTD the surplus now stands at £3.22m, £0.48m above plan.
Full year forecast is to deliver a surplus of £3.58m.

Cash Flow
Cash balance was £45.5m at the end of January, £3.8m above plan.
The table below shows reconciliation between plan and
cash balance highlighting key variances as at end of January and forecast for year end.
Rights to light income of £1.7m and additional STF
payment of £0.4m were not in plan at start of the year.
Reduction in debtors of £1.4m is driven by settlement reached with welsh health bodies for historic debt and insurance firms for private patients debt.
Reduction in creditors of £2.0m is driven by resolution of disputed invoices with other NHS trusts. Forecast
increase in payments to creditors relates to research and development projects with the UCL Institute of Ophthalmology, who have indicated in February their
intention to bill the Trust for completed projects before year end. These payments do not impact the income and expenditure position as they have already been
accounted for.
Year end forecast cash balance is largely on plan after
taking into account remaining capital expenditure, interest, loan and PDC dividend payments.

Current forecast is to incur expenditure of £11.22m by
year end, £19.65m below plan due to slippage of
strategic schemes into next year.
Better Payment Practice Code
January has marked an improvement on last month with 89% of invoices by volume and 93% by value paid within 30 days.
Year to date, value wise, most of the late payments relate to disputed invoices from NHS organisations which take longer than 30 days to resolve.

Debtors Management and Credit Control
Comments
Overall debt has increased by £0.5m in January to £14.1m (£13.6m December) primarily due to NHS performance activity being billed in month.
Total overdue debt has increased by £0.7m in January to £9.9m (£9.2m December). NHS performance and sundry overdue debt has increased and is partially offset by a reduction in private patients overdue debt.

Overdue CCG debt
NEL, NWL and SWL CCG groups collectively account for £2.5m (77%) of
overdue English contract debt £3.2m.
NCA (Non-Contract Activity) overdue debt includes Kent & Sussex Area
CCGs with 44% of the total overdue balance of £0.5m. As is the case with
all NCA debts, an individual targeted approach is made for each debtor
(113 in total).
Overdue Sundry debt
Overdue sundry debt has decreased by £0.3m in January to £3.6m (£3.2m
December). Key overdue debtors are as follows:
Barts Trust £0.3m
F. Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd (R&D) £0.3m
St Georges Trust £0.3m
Croydon Trust £0.2m
UCLH Trust £0.2m
Lowy Medica Research (R&D) £0.1m
Other Trusts £0.5m
Overseas patients £0.3m
PP consultants service charges £0.6m
Note: Standard NHS payment terms are 30 days from the invoice date.
SLA payments are mostly made on the 15th of each month and, once set
up, tend to run smoothly.
Delays in payment occur when data is delayed or disputed, or queries
arise which require investigation.
