That a change to the financial reference period for Care
Dorset to operate an April to March fiscal year from 1 April 2026, be approved.

 

This change means there will be an 18
month financial year from 1 October 2024 to 31 March 2026.

 

Reason for decision

 

This change is recommended in order to bring Care Dorset in
line with Dorset Council’s financial reference period and avoid complication
with Care Dorset operating over two financial years with Dorset Council.
