Decision details

Chris Ward, the Director of Financial Services and Section 151 Officer, reported on these two big areas of overspend which were projected to fall within their cash limit over this year and the next financial year.  For Health & Social Care it was £2.4 million deficit but there had been progress on this, so £2.2 million was now forecasted and the proposals aimed for a further improvement to the situation to eliminate the deficit by the end of the financial year.

DECISIONS:

(1)          The following was approved:

(i)            That the proposed savings as set out in Appendix A for the Health and Social Care Portfolio amounting, in total, to £2.4m in a full year be approved to enable appropriate consultation and notice periods to be given to affected parties.

(ii)          That Managers commence any necessary consultation process or notice process necessary to implement the approved Portfolio savings.

(2)          the following was noted:

(i)            The savings proposals set out in Appendix A are indicative and the Portfolio Holder can therefore, in response to any consultation, alter, amend or substitute any of the indicative savings proposal(s) set out in Appendix A with alternative proposal(s) amounting to the same value within their Portfolio.

(ii)          The likely impact of savings as set out in Appendix A of the report.
