Totally plc

("Totally", "the Company" or "the Group")

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. 

Simon Stilwell, Chair of the Board stated:

"Following the recent publication of Lard Darzi's report on the state of the NHS we continue to see the opportunity for an independent provider to provide some of the solutions required to help the NHS in the coming years. The report details that 'how long people wait, and the quality of treatment, are at the heart of the social contract between the NHS and the people.'  Our aim is to support the NHS in delivering this social contract and supporting the principles of a health service that is taxpayer funded, free at the point of use, and based on need not ability to pay.  We expect further clarity on the steps to be taken in the NHS planning guidance which is due to be published shortly. Our focus is on growing the number of high performing services we deliver on behalf of the NHS and other providers to ensure that patients across the UK and in Ireland can access the care they need, when they need it.

"The company continues to trade in line with the guidance given at the 2024 full year results, a position underpinned by recently announced contract wins such as the new c. £5 million contract for insourcing services in the North of England, and multiple contract extensions for existing services.  New business opportunities remain steady and we are in active engagement with a number of trusts about the provision of services.

"Within each of our services, performance continues to be rated as good by the Care Quality Commission and we are preparing for the usual seasonal pressures faced by the NHS to ensure we provide resilience for them over the winter period.

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