The Budget Monitoring report (2017/18) was written by Claire Martin—Head of Finance.

The report was drafted to show the latest budget monitoring position for 2017/18 for the Public Protection and Safety Portfolio. This was based on expenditure and activity levels up to 31^st May 2017.

It was noted that there was a projected over-spend of £66k. This was due to increased expenditure for the Mortuary Service. The current total budget allocation was £2.34m; it was estimated that the total expenditure in the budget would rise to £2.40m.

Councillor Benington asked why the mortuary service cost had increased. The Executive Director for Environmental and Community Services explained that a big inquest was going to be held, which was going to be costly. It was difficult to factor in costs of this nature as they were unexpected.

RESOLVED that the Portfolio Holder endorse the latest 2017/18 budget projection for the Public Protection and Safety Portfolio.
