A report by the Director of Finance informed that with the release of further documents supporting the Chancellor of the Exchequer’s Budget on 22 April 2009 it was now possible to revise the initial estimate of the projected budgets for the years from 2011 to 2014 and set out the detail.

Resolved: - That

(1)  The budget projections be kept under review as the global recession develops.

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