Report of the Director of Adult Health and Social Care

The development of an Adult Social Care, Care Governance Strategy identified that, alongside the Council’s Medium-Term Financial Strategy (MTFS) analysis of cost pressures and planned savings, a full budget analysis was required for greater transparency and to ensure that ongoing financial risks and issues remain visible. 

This report looks at the whole rather than the change, highlighting relative growth in spend by service type and the links between funding streams and specific activity.

This is a key report in our financial governance as it enhances our understanding of the full budget position and the relative value of pressures, savings and ongoing commitments when making spending decisions.

It also supports delivery on Sheffield City Council One Year Plan priority to deliver a framework for measuring our performance and quality so that people can hold us to account for the care services we provide.
