Approve the net virement of budget
totalling £6.219m from Children’s Services
(£2.099m), Place (£1.457m) and Adult Social Care and
Health (£2.663m) into Corporate Services and Transformation,
to facilitate the centralisation of Digital functions within the
Council; and

 

2)

the digital related posts
(£0.086m) and non-staffing expenditure (£1.201m) with a
total estimated cost of £1.287m funded from grant and
fees/charges will also be centralised;

 

b)

income budget to cover expenditure; and

 

c)     
the actual costs incurred each year
will be funded from grant or income in the relevant department
through an internal transfer mechanism.
