Explanation and potential mitigations for main savings at risk

Families, Children & Learning

385

The majority of the savings at risk relate to Children in Care. This is a result of rising numbers of children entering care and increasing costs of children with very complex needs.

Health & Adult Social Care

1,409

Savings at risk due to ongoing impact of the pandemic delaying changes to ways of working within in-house services, and delays in contract recommissioning with health partners.

Economy, Environment & Culture

1,007

The vast majority of savings within the Directorate are for price increases and growth in income generating areas. Price increases have been applied, however the anticipated income has yet to be achieved in full as these areas are dependent on demand including tourism and visitor numbers. The national restrictions within the first few months of the year caused this decline during those months, but as behaviours change it is hoped that there will be some return to pre-pandemic levels of demand to achieve these savings. The most significant areas of shortfall are £0.458m for pay & display parking, £0.101m for resident permit increases, £0.130m for professional fees within Property & Design, £0.047m for increased hire fees at the Brighton Centre and £0.030m for expanding the Outdoor Events Programme.

Housing, Neighbourhoods & Communities

268

£0.070m reduction in service enhancement for new Emergency Accommodation contracts at risk due to the growing needs of the clients being placed. £0.198m is at risk due to the challenges of implementing the TA improvement programme while trying to move-on the extra clients placed during the pandemic. The Homelessness Transformation Manager has been in place since 29th June 2021.
