The Welsh Government has rejected Powys health bosses plans for a £25million deficit budget for this year.
At a meeting of Powys Teaching Health Board last week board members were told, that following feedback on their initial budget plan from the Welsh Government, the organisation would need to revise and resubmit a proposal by the end of this month.
PTHB chief executive Hayley Thomas said: “The Welsh Government welcome the ambition set in our plan regarding the shift to a preventative approach – but as it stands needs to be looked at again. Planning, performance, and commissioning director Stephen Powell said that the original delivery plan would continue as a “baseline document” and revisions would be shown as a “change variation” to it.“As a board what should we understand by that.”Ms Thomas said: “This isn’t unusual at the start of the year.
He believed the health board is in “fire fighting mode” which is not “great” for implementing long term changes. As part of the financial stimulus by the Welsh Government PTHB was given £18.3 million in additional funding.She also said that the board is discussing financial challenges in “May rather than August” as it had in the past.“Are we simply focusing on financial resource, will we also be looking at our commissioning arrangements.”
