The presentation has changed, however, with the services now shown within service units rather than portfolios. A financial information page is included for each service and includes the probable outturn for the service for 2008/09. Service information pages are no longer included but each service unit prepares a service plan at a high level. A summary is given for each service unit that projects service costs forward to 2012/13 and a summary of these, plus other potential changes over the period, is given for both the General Fund and the Housing Revenue Account. Finally the Medium Term Financial Strategy framework, as approved by the Executive at its meeting on 29 January 2009 is now included. vi GUILDFORD BOROUGH COUNCIL MEDIUM TERM FINANCIAL STRATEGY 2009/10 –2012/13 Movement in General Fund budget requirement The major reasons for the change between the 2008/09 and 2009/10 General Fund budget requirement (excluding parish precepts) are as follows: £000 Inflation and other adjustments 383 Unavoidable adjustments & commitments 711 Interest rate & cash flow movements (net) 1,439 Transfers to reserves (281) Service Improvements 550 Increased Income (355) Efficiency savings (2,357) Net Increase 90 vii GUILDFORD BOROUGH COUNCIL MEDIUM TERM FINANCIAL STRATEGY 2009/10 –2012/13 General Fund Summary –Gross Expenditure and Income Actual Estimate Estimate Estimate 2007/08 2009/10 2009/10 2009/10 Net Exp.
