  2. Devon County Council’s Revenue Budget 2011/12

  3. Net Revenue budgets: top-level

  4. Changes in internal structure Further work to centralise (and reduce) central support budgets have resulted in reductions to the size of the People budget since this analysis– by £0.275m so far

  5. Changes in funding 12-13 • Formula Grant: likely to reduce by c. £14.6 million (affected by the number of schools converting to academies) • New Homes Bonus: new, likely to be c £1.7m • Council Tax Freeze grant: £8.1m, but one year only – additional savings to match would be required in 13-14 • So, £4.8 million less cash than in 11-12 - but we need to plan to catch up the one year money in 13 - 14 • But in order to meet demand we expect - contracted inflation, demographic pressures, etc we need to find savings of perhaps £40 million • This is the figure that “Your Community Your Choice” roadshows have been seeking views on - http://www.toughchoices.co.uk/leaders-roadshow/

  6. Additional funding in People services • Pupil Premium Grant • Ring-fenced, targeted on pupils qualifying for free school meals • Early Intervention Grant • No ring-fence, but smaller than predecessor grants. Likely route for funding new duties related to children. • Learning Disability & Health Reform Grant • No ring-fence, main route for transferring / new duties relating to adult social care. • NHS support for social care • Scale & usage subject to agreement with NHS Devon.

  7. Increased funding from the NHS Also working towards a pooled budget for carers, including NHS contributions of £1.3m

  8. Implications for 12-13 People budget • Anywhere between a cash freeze and +£5m (+£3.5m assumed) • Based on assumed level of funding, will need to find savings of £17.3 million • Reduction in management / support overheads • Greater use of the independent sector • Prevention (eg, re-ablement) • Reduction in services not directly for people with substantial / critical needs (affecting targeted support, meals on wheels etc.) • Re-focussing care packages (individual choices using Personal Budgets) • Procurement

  9. Key pieces of supporting work • Learning Development Partnership • Youth strategy • Placement strategy for children in care • Framework agreements • Residential care fees structure review • Targeted support strategy • Expansion of reablement

  10. Total DCC residential/nursing numbers for Older People and Physical Disability – ex payment runs – excludes CHC

  11. Total DCC res/nurs £ paid per fortnight for Older People and Physical Disability – ex payment runs – excludes CHC

  12. Total DCC hours of personal care

  14. Budget timetable from here on • 14 December: Draft budget target set by Cabinet • To end January: Consultation / scrutiny (Devon Education Forum 18 January / formal scrutiny meeting 24 January) • 8 February: Cabinet reconsiders recommendations • 16 February: County Council formally sets budget

  15. Changes on the way • Health & Social Care Bill • Currently at committee stage in the House of Lords • Paves the way for abolition of Primary Care Trusts & establishment of Health Watch • Social Care White Paper • Consultation already under way (Caring for Our Future”) • White Paper “in spring 2012” • Extent to which this will cover funding reforms / pressures is unclear
