The Scale of the Efficiency Challenge• Cabinet has examined in detail all possibilities in

identifying the way forward• Looked to build upon the strong Think Efficiency

platform in looking for innovative efficiency options• Sought to safeguard critical front line services to

vulnerable residents of the City• Facing this scale of challenge, it has not been possible

to avoid service reductions in all cases

Impact on Community, Health and Social Care• Savings proposals have been developed across all

areas of the Directorate and across all the key themes.• Changes to funding streams are complex and include:

– Specific Grants transferring into Formula Grant– Area Based Grant – either lost or transferred into Formula

Grant– Funding transferring from the NHS to the Local Authority– Learning Difficulties Transfer – Introduction of Specific Grant

(not ringfenced)

Impact on Community, Health and Social Care• Adult Social Care savings - £3.383m over 27 service

areas• During the budget process no savings proposed

around care fees for Residential and Nursing Care Home services.

• Context that approx £100m spend on Adult Social Care and within that £28m on Residential and Nursing care.

• Council budget plans for 2011/12 has protected current fee levels
