Agenda item

The Committee considered a report of the Corporate Director, Children and Young People’s Services, which provided details of the updated forecast outturn for Children and Young People’s Services, highlighting any major variances in comparison with the budget basted on the position to the end of quarter 3 (for copy see file of minutes).

Councillor Durham referred to the overspend in the LAC service and asked for a breakdown on externally placed children so that Members could monitor any ongoing themes considering this accounted for a large proportion of the budget.  The Finance Manger, CYPS, confirmed that further information could be provided and he would formulate how this could be presented to Members for the next quarter.

Resolved:

That the report be noted.
