Elimination of 2000/01 deficits
As
you are all aware, I have been working on finding an acceptable means of
enabling
the elimination of 2000/01 deficits.
The
agreed solution is as follows:
The RO will give the HA a temporary provisions
adjustment for £237k
(£102k
plus £135k) which will increase the HA's resource limit for
2000/01.
No cash will be made available in 2000/01.
The
HA will notify the Trusts that additional income (Epsom and St
Helier
£135k and St George's £102k) will be made available for 2000/01
and
that they should set up a debtor for the HA for the amounts
involved.
The HA will set up creditors for the same amounts.
Thuis the
Trust
deficits will be eliminated
In
2001/02 the RO will reduce the Trust EFLs by the £135k and £102k
respectively
and increase the HA cash limit (but not resource limit -
resource
already given in 2000/01) by £237k.
The
HA uses the cash to discharge the creditor position with the Trust.
This
process should ensure that while the deficits are eliminated, neither
the
Trusts nor HA are in a worse position than they were before.
Melvyn
please forward this e-mail to Paul as I do not have an address for
him.
I have discussed this approach with him and he is happy with it.
The
HA
needs to inform the Trusts in writing that it will provided addtional
income
in line with the above asap so that auditors can be notified.
Many
thanks for your cooperation in this matter.
