AGM Statement

 

Totally plc (AIM: TLY), a leading provider of frontline healthcare services, corporate fitness and wellbeing services across the UK and Ireland, will hold its Annual General Meeting at 10.00 a.m. today at the Company's registered office address, Cardinal Square West, 10 Nottingham Road, Derby DE1 3QT. 

 

Chairman Bob Holt will make the following statement:

"We continue to work within a challenging operating environment alongside the NHS in crisis. The cost of agency staff required to deliver safe services for patients exceeds our anticipated forecasts and many decisions related to the awarding of new contracts are currently on hold.

"Our ongoing commitment remains centred on delivering excellent care for patients and commissioners and delivering returns for our shareholders, while simultaneously maintaining services which continue to be rated "Good" by the CQC. In addition to this, we are actively implementing strategies to streamline our operations and to align them with a smaller overhead base which more readily reflects the current contract requirement. 

"The Board remains confident in the medium to long term prospects of the business and will ensure that future contract opportunities continue to be pursued and all contracts are managed effectively to support the achievement of Totally's goals. The Board's outlook for the current financial year remains consistent with that communicated alongside the full year results of the Company in July 2023.

"I would like to thank all our shareholders for their continued support."

About Totally

Totally is a leading provider of healthcare and wellbeing services across the UK and Ireland, working in partnership with the NHS, other healthcare providers and corporate customers to help address the challenges of increased demand for healthcare services.

 

The Company is committed to pursuing a progressive buy-and-build consolidation strategy within the fragmented healthcare market and looks to capitalise on the attractive opportunities that its disruptive service model offers to generate value to shareholders.

 

Totally helps healthcare commissioners and hospitals ensure patients can access the most appropriate care quickly and efficiently by delivering quality urgent care services, such as NHS 111 and urgent treatment centres, elective care services including insourcing, outsourcing and elective care delivered via 'Any Qualified provider', as well as community dermatology clinics; and therapy servicing including first contact practitioner and a full physiotherapy and podiatry offering.  Our corporate customer services also play a role in reducing reliance on healthcare by promoting healthy lifestyles and physical and mental health.
