Answer
Updated information on the number of late or outstanding payments for day care centres providing day care for people with learning disabilities through a Trust Contract is set out in the table below.
| Trust | Number of late or outstanding payments for Trust-contracted day centres, providing day care for people with learning disabilities. |
| BHSCT | 62 outstanding invoices at a value of £7,216.36. |
| NHSCT | No late or outstanding payments. |
| SEHSCT | No late or outstanding payments. |
| SHSCT | The Trust is unable to provide details retrospectively of those invoices which were late or outstanding. Most payments to day care providers are paid via a monthly block contract sum in-month. A small number of providers submit invoices which are approved and paid as promptly as possible. |
| WHSCT | No late or outstanding payments. |
