Demand
Q4 demand saw an average case submission rate of 318 cases per month with 143 cases submitted above maximum internal capacity within this quarter. Q1 has seen similar levels of submission with the average submission rate remaining at 318 cases per month. Overall, within Q1, 144 cases were submitted above the maximum internal capacity. This level of demand is 18% above the 270-case maximum when measured over the last six months.
The Demand v Output Chart highlights a gap, when measured against demand, between the combined internal and outsource output over May and June 2025. This gap has been managed by increasing the outsource provision which, will ensure a higher output in July and August and ensure compliance with STL’s. Its worthy of note that continued demand above agreed capacity will require additional outsource support.
