annual report 2018 v page 39 financial analysis

Looking at the last three years of activity, it seems clear that the NHS has a relatively stable budget. While 2018 was clearly an ambitious and expensive year, the general trends are fairly steady in most instances. Although three years is suggestive only, we do see earned income rising, most notably in retail sales. Fostering this has been a priority for NHS. Raised income, mostly notably in straight donations, has been falling. This matches data which show a lowering of the level of donations throughout the region this year. Information like this is not predictive in itself, but it helps us to think about how we focus our attention as we budget for the years ahead.

Expense data does not show us much in the way of trends, but does highlight the fact that our major investment, at this budget size, is in human resources. Our staff generally deliver programming to the public. Should the NHS manage to continue to grow its budget in the years ahead, investments in program capacity, and in building maintenance should be priorities.
