To consider the joint finance reports of the Pooled Budgets at Stockport Council and Stockport CCG to include:

The Borough Treasurer submitted a report (copies of which had been circulated) on the financial performance at Quarter 4 (Outturn) for the 2018/19 Section 75 Pooled Budget between Stockport MBC and Stockport CCG.

The Board commented on the joint work and budgeting arrangements for £200k being delivered and how it had been managed to date.

RESOLVED – (1) That the Quarter 4 (Outturn) Pooled Budget for 2018/19 be approved.

(2) That the outturn position of a £2.551m deficit be noted.

The Borough Treasurer submitted a report (copies of which had been circulated) setting out the 2019/20 Pooled Budget for Stockport Council and Stockport CCG and the Quarter 3 forecast.

It was noted that the deficit of £2.6m was just above 1% and had been documented and presented to both the Council and the CCG. However, significant pressures were ongoing in care management and non-residential care, but the care requirements of the residents were continued to be met.

The Board discussed the collective assurances provided by the Council and the CCG, despite the health care pressures. It was also clear that there was still an appropriate way to spend the finances to continue to provide care in the community, rather than have residents wait in hospitals.

RESOLVED – (1) That the 2019/20 Pooled Budget included within the scope of the s75 Agreement for the two-year funding agreement be approved.

(2) That the Quarter 3 Forecast outturn position and the deficit of £2.607m deficit be noted.

Councillor McGee thanked Mark Chidgey for his service, as it was his last meeting before leaving the employment of the CCG. On behalf of the Board, the Vice Chair thanked Mark Chidgey for his support and wished him well in his future endeavours.
