Decision - Financial Position Update

1)        Note the forecast risk position for the General Fund as at month 6 (September), which indicates a budget pressure of £4.751m. This consists of £4.259m on council controlled budgets and £0.492m on the council’s share of NHS managed Section 75 services.

2)        Note the improvement targets for each service which must be achieved in full to enable the authority to achieve break-even on its General Fund budget.

3)        Agree the proposals and measures set out in the report and authorise officers to take all steps necessary or incidental to the implementation of the proposals.
