A joint report of the Director of Finance (Stockport Clinical Commissioning Group) and the Borough Treasurer (Stockport Council) was submitted (copies of which had been circulated) inviting the Sub-Committee to consider the Better Care Fund (BCF) Quarter 1 Monitoring Returns and providing an update on the finance performance of the BCF as at 30 June 2018 (Quarter 1).

Members asked questions in relation to the Disabled Facilities Grant and its possible usage and carry forward. In response it was confirmed that it could be carried forward into the next financial year but it was a capital grant so could not be used for revenue spending. There were ongoing discussions to explore how the budget could be used to support other initiatives and perhaps be pooled with other capital resources. It was confirmed that the Grant could be used by other Registered Social Landlords if that usage accorded with the BCF aims.

RESOLVED – That:

(i)            the BCF monitoring returns for Quarter 1 2018/19 be approved;

(ii)          the finance performance of the BCF as at 30 June 2018 (Quarter 1) be noted.
