a) The Director of Resources approved the
proposed changes to the LBS staffing structure to deliver savings
and ensure the service can meet demand and operate more
efficiently.
b) The LBS Service Review and associated budget implications have
already been considered and approved via Executive Board as part of
the Financial Challenges papers that put forward a number of
service reviews for consideration and agreement in December 2020
(D52594). This report is now setting out the final structure
proposal to deliver the already agreed service review and budget
following consultation with the Trade Unions and is seeking
approval to sign off and start implementing the new structure. In
light of the above this decision is deemed a significant
operational decision.
