Solid results at Quantum

Care home group Quantum Care experienced solid financial performance during the year ended 31 March 2012, recording an 5.6% increase in income from £42.6m to £45m. The industrial and provident society made an operating surplus of £561,000 (2011: 1.1m). The rise in revenues was despite a slight drop in occupancy and what chief executive Maria Ball described as a very inadequate fee increase from our main commissioner Hertfordshire county council’.
