Mark Goulding, Senior Finance Business Partner introduced the report of the Director of Care and Health, which set out the financial monitoring information for the Adult Social Care and Public Health Committee.

The report provided members with an overview of budget performance for the area, and detailed the year-end revenue position of £1.1m favourable, and year-end capital position of £0.8m favourable. It was reported that the favourable position included £0.6m joint funded income correction relating to two historic invoices, alongside extra funding received for the Covid-19 response from government and Clinical Commissioning Group funding for hospital discharges and deflections. It was reported that Adult Care and Health budget had experienced substantial pressures in 2021/21 which would have led to a significant overspend had it not been for the CCG and Covid-19 grant support.

Further information was sought on the progress of Assistive Technology installations which had been delayed due to the pandemic.

Resolved – That

the year-end revenue outturn position of £1.1m favourable and the £0.8m favourable position of the capital programme, as reported at quarter 4 (Apr-Mar) of 2020-21 be noted.
