Financials in Buurtzorg

I took from a book that the financials are not handled by the independent circles in Buurtzorg but by De Blok personally. How does he decide to keep/kill circles? Is it up to him?

Is this correct?

So let's turn to the good, and highlight organizations that not only talk about putting people first, but also walk their talk. Let's applaud those that put their money where their mouth is in difficult times.
