Consideration was given to a report summarising the forecast outturn for the third quarter of 2011-12; it was noted that this was the third year of operation for many of the shared services. An appendix to the report detailed the projection for individual services.
The Director of Finance and Business Services (CE) referred to the regular reports that were made to the Committee and to ongoing discussions aimed at improving the overall situation. The position concerning the ICT service was discussed, for which new operating models were being investigated; the level of future demand was also discussed.
RESOLVED
That the overall outturn position relating to current shared service arrangements be noted.
