What we will be talking about.
• Update on the Council’s budget
for 2014 – 2015
• Update on Adult Social Care
Proposals (ideas for saving
money)
• Table discussions to find out
what you think about the ideas.
The Council’s money is getting
less and less
Across the council we have enough
ideas for next year’s budget
• We have a longer term plan so that we
make the right decisions for the right
reasons
• In many areas we have made plans for
2-3 years
• The size of the challenge means we
have had to find savings from areas
which we have protected in the past,
such as Adult Social Care
• We have begun talking to people on
some ideas – for others this will start
shortly

friends and the community can
help someone with their eligible

Assessment
Ideas

in a way that is good value for

Reducing Costs
Adult Provider Services

Business Support teams
smaller across Adult Provider

contracts. Better rotas and
sickness management for inhouse providers

services. This will mean making
the services smaller

needs and give good value for
money
