Agenda item

Members received the report of the  Service Director – Finance (Section 151 Officer) to consider the financial performance of the Authority during the third quarter ended 31st December 2022 and assess the implications against the Council’s Medium-Term Financial Strategy (MTFS). £12 million budget pressures were being faced which had been fully funded by reserves set aside.

During Member discussion it was queried as to whether budget had been set aside for agency staff payments given recruitment issues. This was confirmed as having been factored into forward budgets.

RESOLVED that the update be noted.
