Purpose

To review performance for Quarter 4 2022/23
and report the provisional financial outturn for revenue and
capital budgets for the year ended 31 March 2023, subject to
external audit.
 
To provide assurance that progress has been
made towards delivery of the agreed revenue budget and service
delivery targets, and that the reasons for major variances or
potential under-performance are understood and are being addressed
to the cabinet’s satisfaction.
 
The 2022/23 outturn shows a net overspend of
£5.6 million after the use of reserves and recovery plan
actions.
 
The proportion of performance measures showing
an improvement, or remaining the same compared to the same period
last year is sixty-six per cent. At the end of the quarter,
seventy-five per cent of actions from the delivery plan are
identified as complete or are progressing within planned
timescales.

Decision

That: Cabinet,
having reviewed performance and financial outturn for year 2022/23,
as set out in the appendices A-F, have not identified any
additional actions to be considered to achieve future
improvements.
