Decision details

To consider and approve the budget virement in order to centralise our support functions and deliver the first stage of our One Council Support functions proposal

RESOLVED to:

1)      Approve the net virement of budget totalling £14.031m from Children’s Services (£6.001m), Place (£1.383m) and Adult Social Care and Health (£6.646m) into Corporate Services and Transformation, to facilitate the centralisation of supporting services across the Council; and

2)      Note that posts with a total estimated cost of £5.726m which are funded from grant(£2.491m) and fees/charges (£3.235m) are also to be centralised. The net budget virement associated with these posts is nil due to posts having a corresponding income budget to cover expenditure. The actual costs incurred each year will be funded from grant or income in Children’s Services through an internal transfer mechanism.
