1)     finalise the recommended budget for Adult Social Care (ASC) in 2016/17 (£74.845m gross and £51.481m net) for Full Council, including required savings, taking into account the outcome of the consultation exercise and taking into account any recommendations from the relevant Overview and Scrutiny Panel and Commission.

2)     authorise the Director of Community and Housing, within the council’s Constitution, to take the action necessary to achieve these savings.

The detailed discussion on this item was held along with item 6, Reference from the Overview and Scrutiny Commission – pre decision scrutiny of the Business Plan 2016-20 under item 5 Business Plan 2016-20. The Leader and his Cabinet felt the three items were intertwined in their nature. It was agreed that this approach would ensure that all the issues on these items would be heard, discussed and assessed in context.
