Year-on-year

FY2024 → FY2025 · period ending 2025-03-31 vs 2024-03-31

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers

Audit opinion
Unqualified (clean)
Going concern
Affirmed

“The directors acknowledge that King's College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust was placed in special measures by NHS Improvement in December 2017 in view of its forecast financial deficit. In April 2024 the Trust transitioned from segment 3 to segment 4 of the NHS Oversight Framework and as such is receiving support from the Recovery Support Programme to allow it to continue to provide high quality care for patients. The likelihood of non-recovery of the Group's finance debtor is deemed to be low in light of the Trust's invoice settlement performance, the operationally critical nature of the Group's services and the NHS Trusts being supported by Government funding. There is also a deed of safeguard in place to protect the Group in the event of a default by the NHS Trust. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on the continuing servicing and recoverability of the group debt which is needed to service the listed debt. After reviewing the Group's forecasts and projections, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.”
