Nicola Hix presented the Budget Monitoring report for Month 10 which also included as an appendix a summary of Month 9. It was highlighted that a lot of work was being undertaken with the Integrated Care board and Communities was doing well. Appendix 9 showed the spend Boards information from month 9 and it was noted that these boards were making people question whether the spend was necessary or needed. Some Terms of Reference may change from April 2024 and additional boards will be put in place.

Members were asked to note that no Month 11 report will be coming forward as staff will be putting End of Year reports together.

The Chair thanked officers for the member briefings that had taken place and the committee also requested that Corporate Performance report should come to this committee. The committee were also reminded that for the new calendar year, this committee will be meeting before the Executive and so can report on issues that arise.

Resolved:
