UHBT 17/15 MATTERS ARISING All items were included within the agenda. UHBT 17/16 FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE OF THE CHARITY 2016/17 Mr Chris Lewis, Deputy Director of Finance advised the Trustees that the Charity had a very successful year. It generated £1.548m income, spent £1.260m and therefore had a net income of £0.288m. In addition there were market value gains on investments of £0.946m and asset revaluation of £0.066m. Overall, the fund balances increased by £1.300m in the period to £10.548m, passing £10m for the first time. ASSURANCE was provided by: The financial strength of the charity; Good financial performance during the period. The Trustees: NOTED the draft financial position and performance of the Charity in 2016/17. UHBT 17/17 NHS CHARITIES AND LHB/NHS TRUSTS STATUTORY ACCOUNTS NHS Charities were classified as public bodies inextricably linked to the NHS. To date they had not been designated for consolidation within the Welsh Government accounts, nor within the Welsh Budget motion. The Welsh Government is undertaking an exercise to align its budgetary and accounting boundaries and needs to consider whether NHS charities should be designated for consolidation within Welsh Government Consolidated Accounts. The Charitable Funds Committee considered the key issues on 19th September and the only concern related to any formal requirement to consolidate and report the accounts, but there were options to avoid this. Across NHS Wales there did not appear to be an appetite to set up NHS Charities as independent organisations as no benefits could be seen. This view was supported by the Charitable Funds Committee. 4 of 93 Board of Trustees Minutes of the last Meeting held on 28th September 2017 . ASSURANCE was provided by: Consideration of the issue by the Charitable Funds Committee Engagement with Welsh Government. The Trustees: NOTED the contents of this report; CONFIRMED agreement on the Charitable Funds Committee’s position on potential changes and key issues. 4 UHBT 17/18 UPDATE ON ROOKWOOD HOSPITAL The report consolidated various discussions and legal advice. In addition, the Charity Commission had confirmed in principle that when services were transferred to UHL, the asset could be sold as it would no longer fit with the original intentions of the donor. It also confirmed in principle that it would be permissible to widen the objects of the Charity. A formal application would be required and it was suggested this be made around 9 months before the sale of Rookwood. It was proposed a separate investment fund be set up with its application principles already approved by the Trustees. ASSURANCE was provided by: The detailed discussions held on this issue by the Charitable Funds Committee; The briefings provided to the Trustees and their approval of future financial arrangements for the Rookwood Hospital part of the charity; The legal advice provided by the Charity’s solicitors. The Trustees: NOTED the progress being made and further work being undertaken on the sale and application of the Rookwood Hospital element of the Charity. AGREED to gain clarity on who owned each part of the site. Action – Mr Chris Lewis UHBT 17/19 NHS 70TH BIRTHDAY The Trustee was advised that UHL was planning a big celebration on site to mark the 70th anniversary of the NHS. In addition, Mr Peter Welsh advised the Trustee of some of the national events planned. ASSURANCE was provided by: Previous scrutiny by the Charitable Funds Committee The Board of Trustees: NOTED the proposals to mark the 70th Anniversary of the National Health Service. 5 of 93 Board of Trustees Minutes of the last Meeting held on 28th September 2017 .
