    Other accounting policies

    Taxation: Community interest companies are not entitled to any specific corporation tax exemptions and may be liable to corporation tax on profits arising on a taxable trade. Therefore, the Board of Directors will carry on the operations of the GP Federation Support Unit Western C.I.C. to ensure that no profit arises on income from public funds. The board will ensure that any surplus arising from public funds will either be rolled forward and applied to future services under the contract to benefit the community or be refunded.

The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received. Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the company is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.

Company activities and impact

GP FEDERATION SUPPORT UNIT WESTERN C.I.C. incurred some bank charges and fees for preparing the annual accounts during the sixth period of account ended 31st March 2025. Income is owed between the Federation Support Unit and its associated Member Federation’s in respect of staff backpay paid by the support unit on behalf of the federation. The FSU centrally manages several services on behalf of its 2 Member Federations – Derry and the South West and receives funding from SPPG for such. The Western FSU provides centralised business expertise in the form of HR, payroll, communications, finance, project and business management to its 2 Member Federations. Its Member Federations comprise 47 member practices and cover a combined registered patient list size of 340,728. Funding was received in year from SPPG in respect of practice-based learning and quality improvement. Both of which enabled tailored individual and collective response to the needs of our 47 member practices and primary care staff again improving patient care and outcomes. The funding is for GP input, the provision of training days and other associated costs such as speaker fees, venue hire, room rental and computer expenses associated with remote learning post Covid-19 pandemic. SPPG continues to provide funding to run and manage elective care (GPES) in the community including gynaecology, dermatology, vasectomy and primary care surgery services. The initiative is the implementation of primary care alternatives to hospital referrals and a key aspect of the elective care transformation work GP Federations are taking forward, in conjunction with the SPPG. The new services will greatly reduce the need for patients to access services within secondary care and thus reduce the current hospital waiting lists enabling better patient care and outcomes.

The stakeholders are the member Federations and their associated general practice surgeries. Board meetings are held quarterly to discuss the future activities. Feeback from stakeholders is received in the form of questionnaires throughout the year and events and from FSU service users via focused questionnaires and ad hoc.
