The Committee considered a report outlining the total expenditure of the Local Authority on consultants for 2016/17 and the first quarter of 2017/18 for the Care Services Portfolio.

 

At its meeting on 7th September 2017, the Executive and Resources PDS Committee considered a report on Local Authority expenditure on consultants across all Council departments for both revenue and capital budgets and requested that this expenditure be considered by the PDS Committees for each Portfolio.  Within the Care Services Portfolio, which had responsibility for children’s social care services until January 2017, revenue expenditure focused on the need for one-off specialist advice and to respond to insufficient in-house skills or resources had totalled £62,442 in 2016/17 with no revenue expenditure in the first quarter of 2017/18.  Capital expenditure on consultants totalled £38,861.77 in 2016/17 and £10,000 in the first quarter of 2017/18.

 

RESOLVED that the expenditure on consultants relating to the Care Services Portfolio be noted.
