Significant events

• “Having survived tough trading periods starting from the Covid years in 2020/2022 we then had to cope with higher inflation, high fuel costs and high interest rates exacerbated by the changing political climate and the invasion of Ukraine.”
• “Faced with higher staffing costs and with both local authorities and the NHS struggling with their own budgets we have had to rationalise our operations to reflect the current funding position.”
• “The Directors anticipate that we will continue to face the challenge of balancing the desire to grow admissions more quickly with the need to ensure that all admissions are financially reflective of the current and future costs we face.”

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
