Issue - meetings

The Board gave consideration to a report setting out the savings plan and value for money priorities for financial year 2023/24 which was critical to the HSCP operating within budget.

Decision

The Integration Joint Board –

1.    approved the Value for Money Strategy and Savings proposals for 2023/24;

2.    noted that the HSCP budget was predicated on the delivery of the savings programme outlined in the submitted report;

3.    noted that Equality Impact Assessments were attached to the submitted report as an appendix for relevant savings projects; and

4.    approved the implementation of recovery plan measures outlined in the submitted report and noted these were required as the HSCP budget was not yet in balance for 2023/24.
