To consider the recommendation from the Adult and Health Committee.

Consideration was given to the recommendations of the Adults and Health Committee, which had met on 30 May 2022, in relation to the Approval of Supplementary Estimates of over £1m.

RESOLVED: That Council

approve the supplementary estimates over £1,000,000 set out in Appendix B, Table D.

To receive the alignment of the 2022-23 budgets for Adults and Health and to note or approve virements and supplementary estimates as required.

The committee received the report which determined the allocation of the approved budgets for 2022/23 to the Adults and Health Committee.

There would be monitoring reports coming to committee throughout the year which would demonstrate how the Council was measuring demand, dealing with price pressures, and how delivery of the planned savings was progressing.

There was a request that a footnote be inserted in relation to the European Social Fund Income for Journey First and Parents First to make it clear that this funding was administered from the Department of Work and Pensions.

Comments and questions were received from members in relation to the following:

-       Had conversations started following the publication of the Newton report in respect of adult social care fees and the difficulties experienced with the care market;

-       Public Health Grant – Were there specific things that this would be spent on.

It was agreed that a summary of the Newton report would be brought to committee and considered as part of the implementation of policy going forward.

RESOLVED (Unanimously) that :-

1.           The decision of the Finance Sub-Committee to allocate the approved capital and revenue budgets, related policy proposals and earmarked reserves to the Adults and Health Committee be noted.

2.            The supplementary estimates already approved as set out in Appendix B, Tables A and B of the report be noted.

3.            The supplementary estimates set out in Appendix B, Table C of the report be noted.

4.            That the Adults and Health Committee recommend to Council to approve the supplementary estimate set out in Appendix B, Table D of the report.

5.            The financial reporting timetable as set out in Appendix C of the report be noted.
