Significant events
- “During 2024-25, we initiated an organisational change programme to reduce expenditure by £1.7m and return to financial balance. This included significant reductions in the Care Coordination service... number of beds in our Inpatient Unit from 16 to 12. Additionally, we have reduced corporate and support services, including management and leadership resources, resulting in 33 whole-time equivalents being removed from our budget, with 19 redundancies, of which 3 were compulsory.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
