Decision details

The Chairman introduced the report, which provided the Committee with an update on the 2018/19 adult social care budget position, delivery of existing medium term financial strategy (MTFS) savings, the additional budget pressures and the status of actions agreed to recover against these. It also included a risk assessment of the recovery plan.

It was noted that there was a typo in the printed agenda on page 54, section 1.7 and that the final sentence should read in full;

‘It is important to note that the £3.6m value of these recovery actions is in addition to significant savings being delivered.’

The Chairman requested that regular updates on the Financial Recovery Plan be brought back to the Adults and Safeguarding Committee and it was agreed that this would include the salient points requested within the Members Item, including a risk assessment of freezing staff posts and the impacts on service delivery and safeguarding issues, as well as any further information on Mosaic.

Following the consideration of the report, the Chairman MOVED to the vote on the recommendations set out in the report.

It was RESOLVED that;

That the Adults and Safeguarding Committee notes the work carried out by Barnet’s adult social care services to prepare for and respond to additional demand over winter.
