Income
Our main source of income for the accident and emergency service has traditionally been from each of the four Health Boards. These agreements are made on an annual basis
and identified in our Service Level Agreement.
Our Patient Transport Service is broadly commissioned by each of the Health Boards on a contractual basis.
Minimum additional income is generated from support provided at public events, community resuscitation training, and other health-related activities.
A capital allocation is received each year from the Department of Health, Social Services and Public Safety.
Income is allocated to services within the Trust, and capital expenditure planned, by the setting of the budget each year. Information is available at Each Trust Board which
identifies actual spend against these targets. The Trust contributes to a charitable fund along with the other Health Trusts, for which the main source of income is from
investments.

centre of excellence on procurement, access to procurement professionals.
Staff pay-and-grading structures
