("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.

 

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.
