Hampshire Police Authority 20 January 2007 2007/08 Budget Presentation by Head of Financial Accounting
Presentation • grant settlement • overall position • process of reviewing growth and savings • main variations • analysis of budget and employees
Grant settlement 2007/08 • second year of two year settlement • grant increase of 3.6%, as expected • more than inflation (pay and prices £7.7m or 2.9%) • but overall increase in current policies needed is a much bigger rise of £17.1m (6.3%)
Cash increase 2007/08 Difference of £9.4m arises from • full year effect of PCSOs (£5.8m, net) • pay increments (£3.6m) Council tax rise of 13%, but reductions required of £5.6m down to capping limit of 5%
Settlement concerns • reduction in planned growth of PCSOs (difficult to achieve the level of neighbourhood policing expected with 206 fewer officers than planned) • excellent record in efficiency savings (£14m in 2005/06 against target of £8m) • cuts required now to bridge the gap, and meet new pressures (neighbourhood policing, custody centres and professional standards)
