- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors have prepared cash flow forecasts which indicate that, taking account of severe but plausible downsides, the Company will have sufficient funds to meet its liabilities as they fall due. Further information of the directors' assessment including the consideration of the impact of the current economic climate is contained within note 1.2. Taking into account reasonable possible risks in operations to the Company, the fact the obligations of the Company's sole customer are underwritten by the Secretary of State for Health, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company will be able to settle its liabilities as they fall due to the foreseeable future. It is therefore appropriate to prepare these financial statements on the going concern basis.”
Significant events
- “During the financial year deductions of £308,000 (2023: £363,000) were levied by the Trust and passed onto the service providers. In addition, during the year, the Company and the Trust came to an agreement on historic deductions up to and including 30 September 2022, whereby the Company paid £800,000 to the Trust, and £700,000 was recovered from the Service Provider.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
