The Points of Contact for FSIG are:-                     
Chairman
- Kevin Flannigan of North Hampshire Primary Care Trust
kevin.flannigan@nhpct.nhs.uk
Secretary
- Hugo Pullen of North Hampshire Primary Care Trust
hugo.pullen@nhpct.nhs.uk   

This support is temporary until January 2004 only.

FSIG - an opportunity to make a difference and really be involved in the Finance Special Interest Group. Both the Chair and the Secretary had to give up their roles due to work commitments following long and substantial support to ISTUG through FSIG. The members from NHPCT have offered their support until Jan 2004, however this is only temporary. FSIG will next meet at Sage on October 15h when they will be aiming to appoint both a new Chair and a Secretary to take on the roles from Jan 2004. Please think about stepping forward and offering to make a very positive contribution to the group, and have an influence on how to shape both FSIG and ISTUG.
If you are interested then please contact ISTUG njames@istug.com or the current Chairman.

View the Budget Import Spreadsheet

Did you know
that you can also phase budgets within the spreadsheet? Instead of 12 columns for BUDGET01 to BUDGET12 you can use BUDGET01-12 and the amount will be phased over periods 1 to 12, with any rounding in period 12. You can also use any combination, for example BUDGET01-06 and specific amounts in BUDGET07 through to 12. For further details please contact the helpdesk on 0118 9813223 njames@istug.com

MBE VOTING NEW - Update from SES
The next MBE list for voting will appear here when available.

We have been advised by Sage that there is currently a backlog of outstanding MBEs to be delivered. Below is a statement from Sage about the current status:

"Sage are committed to continuing development of MBEs and to the voting process, however you will understand that we need to maintain a balance between these and more general development work. As a result, we are currently reviewing the resource allocated to MBE development and incorporating this into the Line 500 Roadmap. We still have a number of outstanding MBEs to be scheduled and anticipate that we will be issuing the next voting list towards the end of the year."
