Meeting: 01/07/2010 - Adult Social Care Scrutiny Committee (Item 48)

Central and Eastern Cheshire Primary Care Trust - financial position and possible NHS changes

To receive a verbal update by Fiona Field, Director of Governance and Strategic Planning at Central and Eastern Cheshire Primary Care Trust, on the current financial position and any changes to the NHS.

Minutes:

F Field, the Director of Governance and Strategic Planning at Central and Eastern Cheshire Primary Care Trust reported that, last year the PCT was financially challenged but did deliver a balanced budget at the end of March 2010.  She  highlighted that there would have to be a £1million surplus by the end of the year but there had to be cost reductions to achieve this and difficult decisions have been made. The future remains very challenging especially as locally, non-recurrent savings last year have added to the pressures in 2010/11.

 

RESOLVED

 

That the update be noted
