1 Financial Context to the Corporate Strategy

1.1 Demographic and legislative pressures:

· Aging population and increased number of young people with complex disabilities living into adulthood

· Higher waste disposal costs due to national policies linked to landfill and hazardous waste directives

· Increased numbers of vulnerable children being identified

1.2 Major change programmes:

· Development of Hantsdirect

· Pay and benefits programme

1.3 Review programmes to enable spending pressures to be accommodated and to achieve targeted efficiency savings

2 Financial Management Policies

2.1 In order to allow services to operate within firm cash limits, allocate provision for inflation to services at the start of the financial year and require excess inflation to be absorbed.

2.2 Services expected to contain spending within the approved cash limit with no supplementary allocations being available other than in exceptional circumstances unless a specific contingency provision made within the budget

2.3 Services expected to carry forward 100% of any overspending against the overall service case limit, but are allowed to retain up to 100% of any planned underspending identified prior to the approval of the following year's budget. 50% of any unplanned underspending can automatically be carried forward

2.4 Encourage chief officers to submit applications for specific grant / partnership funding designed to maximise the resources available to the County Council, by allowing capital and revenue cash limits to be adjusted to reflect changes in grant levels

2.5 Require Services to review the level of fees and charges at least annually and set budget limits on the assumption that the level of charges will be increased in line with assumed inflation on gross expenditure.
