1. The following decisions were made:
a) That eleven debts of over £5,000 with a total value of £102,775.35 be written off as irrecoverable
b) That it be noted that two invoices of over £5,000 with a total value of £18,040.68 were written back
2. Reason(s) for the decision:
2.1. Income management procedures ensure that debts are minimised as much as possible and appropriate action to try to recover debts is taken in all circumstances. However, sometimes recovery is not achievable or would involve disproportionate legal and professional fees and staff-time to make pursuit of the debt cost effective.

3.1. No other options were considered.
