| Item 2 - PROJECTED BUDGET 2008/2009 | ||
| Summary : At its meeting on 23 January 2008, the Cabinet recognised the need for further measures to close the budget gap, and agreed - (i) That, in the light of the report now presented by the Director of Adult Social Services on potential procurement efficiencies in Nursing and Residential Home care the sum of £900,000 be bridged for one year from balances. (ii) That, in the light of the Council’s priority for improvement in 2008/2009 to improve the use of the Council’s land and assets, and in the light of the availability of a Save to Invest Fund to facilitate changes, the sum of £1m to be saved from improved use of the Council’s assets be bridged from balances for the period of one year. The above items have been referred to the relevant Overview and Scrutiny Committees for their consideration, prior to the meeting of the Council on 18 February 2008 and are referred to this Committee in view of the use of £1.9m of balances to provide bridging finance. |
