Adult Social Care |
‘Protecting Social Care’ is a key objective of the Better Care Section 75 Funding Pool managed by the Brighton & Hove Clinical Commissioning Group. This includes funding from the improved Better Care Fund (iBCF), part of which provides funding for additional Senior Social Workers to meet the growing demands and complexity of need across the service. The social workers were recruited during 2017/18. This funding sits within the Community Care budget and it is requested to carry this committed funding forward to ensure ongoing funding of the full-year effect of the recruited social workers. |

Integrated Commissioning |
The Safeguarding Adults Board (SAB) is a multi-agency funded partnership. Carrying forward the underspend of this funding will enable a number of initiatives to continue to be supported in 2018/19. We are looking to commission in the next financial year (from work undertaken this financial year) including working with trauma and understanding the neuro-developmental implications of abuse, neglect and trauma as well as training offers in relation to vulnerability, violence and extremism. These are offers which will require the commissioning of specialist providers, with financial implications, Furthermore, the SAB will commission a Learning Review on a case regarding significant harm to an adult with care and support needs, which will also incur costs. In addition there is the possibility of two further reviews being commissioned in 2018/19. |

City Environmental Management |
Funding for improvements to parks and playgrounds was approved by this committee in July 2017 and a programme of play works was prepared with the aim of completing work during 2017/18. Developing the ideal procurement route for the play element took longer than anticipated but this package has now been tendered to suitably qualified providers and works will take place during May/June 2018 due to the lead time for the manufacture of the equipment. |

Public Health |
Several different factors have contributed to this money being carried forward into 2018/19. Because of the additional financial pressures facing Public Health during 2018/19 and 2019/20 from both the Public Health grant cuts and from required council savings, where possible, filling vacancies has been delayed and programme spend tightened. In addition, during 2017/18 there were savings from lower than projected activity on locally commissioned services by GP practices and pharmacies. The implementation of some short-term initiatives planned for 2017/18 has also been delayed into 2018/19. The money being carried forward will be used to provide contingency for the first year of the planned significant reduction to the budget for sexual health services, as well as supporting health improvement activities. |
