Minutes:

The Board gave consideration to a report presenting the Oldham Cares Section 75 (s75) pooled fund forecast position at the end of Month 6 in 2020/21.  The report advised of forecast expenditure in the 2020/21 financial year of £176.973m compared to a budget of £169.504m, an adverse variance of £7.469m.  It was noted that all this variance related to Oldham Council services and included a significant amount for Covid-related costs.

 

The Board was reminded that the 2020/21 s75 agreement had not been formally agreed due to the many changes that had occurred since 1st April 2020.  However, a final position would be presented to the March 2021 meeting of the Board.  The submitted report was therefore based on the amounts that it is estimated will be included in the final agreement.  Oldham Council was reporting an adverse variance of £7.469m at this stage, with proposed actions and anticipated financial changes to occur over coming months that would impact on this position being reported.  The CCG was showing a balanced position at month 6 and was confident this position would remain to year end given the NHS funding regime.

 

The additional cost of dealing with the Covid-19 pandemic for Community Health and Adult Social Care was also being pooled within this s75 agreement.  The financial implications of and sources of funding for this work were presented, and ongoing consideration to the funding of these costs would be given.

 

RESOLVED that the report be noted.
