The Director of Adults and Health approved the recommendation for additional resources of 11 FTE’s within the Adult Operational Service at an annual cost of £397k plus one off additional costs of £11k for laptops (in 18/19). It is anticipated that these costs can be met by a variety of sources and are critical to improving the Council’s income collection performance in relation to Adult Social Care client contribution.
The Senior Finance Manager will implement this decision directly after it has been taken, subject to the necessary clearance process being completed.
