The advice of FRAB is reflected in the Government Financial Reporting Manual (FReM) which, alongside the Department of Health Group Accounting Manual 2019/20, NHS Bodies are required to follow except where a divergence has formally been agreed. For 2019/20 there are no departures from the FReM in preparing the annual accounts for Somerset Clinical Commissioning Group. 1.3 These accounts are certified by the Chief Executive, James Rimmer, as the Accountable Officer appointed by NHS England and NHS Improvement for NHS Somerset Clinical Commissioning Group.

The Clinical Commissioning Group was eligible to receive £4.5m Commissioner Sustainability Funding (CSF) in year, subject to a review by NHS England 1 against achievement of the financial plan and adherence to the conditions of the CSF.

This resulted in the loss of the final two quarters of CSF for 2019/20, equating to £2.925m. This resulted in a total deficit of £16.025m for the 2019/20 financial year. The required protocol for a deterioration from financial plans was adhered to and this position was discussed and approved with NHSE/I prior to the financial year end. 1.8 As a result of the Clinical Commissioning Group’s breach of its duty to breakeven against revenue resource limit for the year ending 31 March 2020 a referral has been made under section 30 of the Local Audit and Accountability Act 2014, by the CCG’s appointed auditors, to the Secretary of State and NHS England, to notify them of this breach. 2 PRIMARY STATEMENTS Statement of Comprehensive Net Expenditure for the year ended 31 March 2020 2.1 The Statement of Comprehensive Net Expenditure records the net operating costs incurred by the Clinical Commissioning Group for 2019/20. 2.2 This statement shows that for the financial year 2019/20 the Clinical Commissioning Group net expenditure was £893,051,000. 2.3 The statement also analyses the expenditure between staff costs, purchase of goods and services, depreciation and impairment charges, provision expense and other operating expenditure/income.
