Report FSD23071

The Committee considered a report providing the budget monitoring position for 2023/24 for the Adult Care and Health Portfolio, based on activity up to the

end of September 2023.

In response to a question, the Director of Adult Social Care confirmed that with respect to the overspend in mental health, there were ongoing pressures around increasing prices, but the Team were working to make up the pace.  The intention was that the Trust would work to recover the position.

Members noted that the forecast was the full-year projection and was therefore profiled.  The full-year effect was based on known funding and it was therefore hoped that the position would improve.

RESOLVED that the Portfolio Holder for Adult Care and Health be recommended to note the projected overspend of £1,501k on controllable expenditure based on information as at September 2023.
