The Director of Finance advised that with the release of the Chancellor of the Exchequer’s Pre-Budget Report on 9 December 2009 it was now possible to revise the estimate of the projected budgets for the years from 2011 to 2014.

Resolved – That,

(1) the budget projections be kept under review; and

(2) further efficiencies be sought through the delivery of the strategic change programme, the further extension of that programme and by specific service efficiencies.
