Minutes:
The Committee was advised that the report (agenda item 12) presented information and analysis to the Adult Social Care Committee on the council’s financial performance against the approved budget and its forecast use of resources for the financial year 2024/25 (June / Period 5 extrapolated).
There were no decisions to be taken on this report which was for noting.
The Executive Director presented the report.
The Committee was invited to raise comments or questions. Key points from the discussion included:
1. It was noted that overspend was largely found in Adult Social Care purchasing. The rise in demand for mental health services in particular since Covid was acknowledged.
2. The previously mentioned demand due to an aging population and expectation of a ‘bulge’ in the next few years was raised. It was suggested that this could be a topic for further development with colleagues in Public Health and the Health Overview Scrutiny Commission. This was noted.
