Ms Oonagh Fleming:

Dr. Brooks noted that we are looking at potentially providing targeted financial supports to support the procurement of an accountant or additional accounting hours for those who already have an accountant. We recognise that some providers will not have accessed an accountant previously and that this is a new ask of them. We are also looking at providing more targeted training. We have an independent contractor in place who has been working with us and they are being retained. They are going to be looking at individual bespoke questions regarding multi-site operations and shared bank statements. We will do everything we can to support people in getting answers to such questions and will work with people on a one-to-one basis. That is why sustainability funding is important. It gives access to case management support that can be tailored to individual requirements. If people have difficulties in preparing these accounts, we will find a way of getting support to them. That is the most important thing.
