The Chief Finance Officer submitted a report relative to the revenue budget position at 31 July 2019 and the projected year-end position for the year ended 31 March 2020.
The overall revenue position for the HSCP for the year-to-date and projected outturn for 2019/20 was an underspend, as detailed in the report, prior to the transfer of balances to General and Earmarked Reserves at the financial year-end. The key pressures were highlighted in section 4 of the report.
The revenue budget position of the HSCP and Health for the financial period 1 April to 31 July 2019 and the year-end position was detailed in Appendices 1 to 4 of the report. The revenue budget position of Adult Social Care and ‘other delegated services’ for the period 1 April to 16 August 2019 and the year end was detailed in appendices 5 to 7 of the report. Appendices 8 and 9 to the report provided a reconciliation of the main budget adjustments applied this current financial year and Appendix 10 detailed the projected movement in reserves.
In line with the IJB’s approved Reserves Policy, the Chief Finance Officer recommended that the IJB should work towards achieving a 2% reserve balance, however, this would depend on the financial performance of the IJB and the availability of funds.
The report intimated that the Chief Finance Officer had commenced financial planning for the period 2020 to 2023, with a focus on continuing to ensure safe and sustainable services whilst meeting significant financial challenges. Information was provided on work to develop a 3-year planning cycle which would allow for a more strategic approach and provide the required time to support and embed change to structures, processes and behaviours. Approval was sought to create a ‘Transformation Programme’ reserve which would be used to provide resources to mitigate the risk of change, support the transition of HSCP services and provide resource capacity to deliver the HSCP change programme.
The report outlined the financial framework required to support the implementation programme for the Five-Year Mental Health Services Strategy.
The report also provided information on Scottish Government funding 2019/20; the Living Wage increase for 2019/20; and the National Care Home Contract 2019/20.
DECIDED:
(a) That the in-year position as at 31 July 2019 be noted;
(b) That the projected year-end position for 2019/20 be noted;
(c) That the creation of a ‘Transformation Programme’ reserve, to provide resources to mitigate the risk of change and support the transition of HSCP services, be approved;
(d) That the Chief Finance Officer’s recommendation to work towards a 2% reserve balance in recognition of the level of risk which the organisation was likely to be exposed to over the medium terms to mitigate risk be approved; and
(e) That the proposed financial framework to support the implementation programme for the Five-Year Mental Health Services Strategy be approved.

The report advised that the HSCP Senior Management Team (SMT), led by the Chief Finance Officer, had developed a two-tiered financial planning model which would enable Renfrewshire to address the 2019/20 financial pressures and introduce a more strategic approach to ensure financial sustainability in the medium term.
