Decision details

Cabinet considered a report of the Director of Corporate Resources presenting the 2019/20 End of Year Financial report.

The report was introduced and the strong and reliable delivery of budgeted savings prior to Covid-19 was emphasised. With regard to departmental summaries, it was noted that budgets were balanced or savings had been achieved in advance. Cabinet recognised that the County Council’s strong financial position had enabled it to take action that wasn’t available to other authorities, such as advancing government money for Covid-19 related PPE to care homes in order to speed up delivery.

The recommendations set out in the report were considered and agreed. A

decision record is attached to these minutes.
