Minutes:
The Committee considered a report (agenda item 12) presenting information and analysis on relevant aspects of the Council’s financial performance against the approved 2024/25 budget and its forecast use of resources at Quarter 1 (Period 2).
The Chair commented that this was an information report, for noting.
Summary of main points raised/noted in discussion of this item:
1. It was noted that the General Fund budget attributable to the Public Health and Communities Policy Committee was £14.4m. This was constituted from a number of budgets sitting across directorates and was reporting a nil variance at Period 2.
2. It was noted that Public Health Grant of £36.4 million had been awarded for 2024/25 by the Department of Health and Social Care. At the end of Period 2, Public Health was reporting no variance to this budget.
3. It was noted that the Capital Programme forecast outturn was £9.3m against the revised budget for 2024/25 of £9.8m. This represented a forecast underspend of £0.5 million (5%) and was comprised of an underspend of £0.3 million in investment in parks and green spaces and £0.2 million underspend on sports outdoor equipment and facility improvements. In response to a question, it was noted that if the position remained the same at financial year-end, this underspend on the capital programme would be re-profiled into the following financial year.
