Cabinet noted the forecast of a £3.5m underspend overall, with service areas overspending and offset by underspends elsewhere. It noted the risks, the shortfall in savings and the position on schools' budgets. It approved a virement (a transfer of budget between headings) within Adult Services, so that a £481k unmet staffing saving can be shown as achieved. It approved £774k from the Transformation Fund for the Transformation Programme, and noted the Head of Finance's advice that any year-end underspend should first replenish the fund.

Items are linked when their titles share most of their words and they fall within 18 months of each other. Councils don't number reports across meetings, so a few links may be wrong, and a step may be missing if its title changed a lot. Each step links to the meeting, where the council's own papers are.
