Report FSD19078

On 10^th July 2019, the Executive received a report summarising the current position on capital expenditure and receipts following the 1^st quarter of 2019/20, and presenting for approval the new capital schemes in the annual capital review process. The Executive agreed a revised Capital Programme for the four year period 2019/20 to 2022/23. The Committee considered a  report highlighting changes agreed by the Executive in respect of the Capital Programme for the Adult Care and Health Portfolio.

A Member expressed disappointment in the delays in implementing the Social Care Case Management system and questioned whether the delays would impact on the initial timeframe that had been indicated.  In response, the Assistant Director of Strategy, Performance and Engagement explained that the delays were a result of two issues.  Firstly, there had been difficulties in identifying the right appointee to the key post of Programme Manager.  An appointment had now been made and the new post holder brought with them lots of valuable experience which will assist the smooth implementation of the system.  Secondly, agreement had been sought to use the Regional Framework Agreement.  Despite going live in April 2019 it had taken time to ensure that key suppliers were on the framework.  It was anticipated that the experience of the new Programme Manager would mitigate against the earlier drift and delay with Officers aiming for procurement by the end of the year.

RESOLVED: That the Portfolio Holder be recommended to note and confirm the changes approved by the Executive on 10^th July 2019.
