Common use of Financial Case Clause in Contracts

Financial Case. ‌ The financial case needs to demonstrate that the 10 year strategic vision and associated programme of investment and change is affordable in capital and revenue terms. As part of the Strategic Assessment for the Caring for Ayrshire programme there was an indicative view on the overall anticipated capital investment costs in delivering that whole system approach which suggested a requirement for £750m of capital investment over that 10 year period. It is recognised that this estimate was based on the situation at a point in time and following the development of our future vision on models of care and the strategic aims of delivering health, care and wellbeing services across Ayrshire and Arran the likelihood is that this cost will be further refined as we progress through our remaining chapters. It is our aim that the programme can be delivered within the existing revenue resources of all parties. It is our belief that the strategic vision and associated programme will allow us to use existing resources more effectively, however there is a recognition that significant redistribution of resources will be required to reflect the future balance of health and care delivery. For example, any new inpatient hospital provision will have to have more single rooms which have a larger footprint than current wards. The resulting increased property related costs will need to be mitigated by a fewer number of inpatient beds than are available currently. This would be facilitated by enhanced community services minimising the requirement for inpatient stays where possible. Community services will therefore be sequenced first so as to change the pathway for patients.
