CHAIR Page 2 Agenda Item 4a Report To: EXECU STRATEGIC COMMISSIONING BOARD Date: 12 February 2020 Executive Member / Cllr Ryan – Executive Member (Finance and Economic Growth) Reporting Officer: Dr Ash Ramachandra – Lead Clinical GP Kathy Roe – Director of Finance Subject: STRATEGIC COMMISSION AND NHS TAMESIDE AND GLOSSOP INTEGRATED CARE FOUNDATION TRUST – CONSOLIDATED 2019/20 REVENUE MONITORING STATEMENT AT 31 DECEMBER 2019 AND FORECAST TO 31 MARCH 2020 Report Summary: With a gross budget for 2019/20 in excess of £948m, as at month 9 the Integrated Commissioning Fund has a forecast net spend of £619.6m, against a net budget of £617.2m. The forecast overspend of £1.550m is primarily driven by Children's Services, offset by contingency and capital financing. Further detail on the economy wide position is included at Appendix 1. The forecast has got worse from last month by £1.252m, mainly due to increased costs in Children’s Services. Recommendations: Members are recommended to : 1. Acknowledge the significant level of savings required during 2019/20 and beyond to deliver a balanced recurrent economy budget together with the related risks which are contributing to the overall adverse forecast. 2. Acknowledge the significant financial pressures facing the Strategic Commission, particularly in respect of Children’s Social Care, Acute, and Growth. 3. Approve the acceptance of the Urban Tree Challenge grant funding set out in paragraph 2.4. 4. Note the write offs of irrecoverable debt for the period 1 October to 31 December 2019. Links to Community Budget is allocated in accordance with the Community Strategy: Strategy Policy Implications: Budget is allocated in accordance with Council Policy Financial Implications: This report provides the 2019/20 consolidated financial position statement at 31 December 2019 for the Strategic (Authorised by the Commission and ICFT partner organisations. For the year Section 151 Officer & to 31 March 2020 the report forecasts that service Chief Finance Officer) expenditure will exceed the approved budget in a number of areas, due to a combination of cost pressures, shortfalls in income and non-delivery of savings. These pressures are being partially offset by savings and additional income in Capital and Financing, Corporate and Contingency budgets Page 3 which may not be available in future years. The report emphasises that there is a clear urgency to implement associated strategies to ensure the projected funding gap in the current financial year is addressed and closed on a recurrent basis across the whole economy. The Medium Term Financial Plan for the period 2019/20 to 2023/24 identifies significant savings requirements for future years. If budget pressures in service areas in 2019/20 are sustained, this will inevitably lead to an increase in the level of savings required in future years to balance the budget. It should be noted that the Integrated Commissioning Fund (ICF) for the Strategic Commission is bound by the terms within the Section 75 and associated Financial Framework agreements. Legal Implications: There is a statutory requirement for the Council to deliver a (Authorised by the balanced budget whilst ensuring all services deliver value for Borough Solicitor) money. Given the implications for each of the constituent organisations this report will be required to be presented to the decision-making body of each one to ensure good governance and to enable the two organisations to determine how the budget gap will be addressed. Risk Management: Associated details are specified within the presentation. Failure to properly manage and monitor the Strategic Commission’s budgets will lead to service failure and a loss of public confidence. Expenditure in excess of budgeted resources is likely to result in a call on Council reserves, which will reduce the resources available for future investment. The use and reliance

A public engagement exercise was launched between 13 December 2019 and 15 January 2020 to understand their priorities for spending within the context of the financial challenges facing public services. This engagement took the form of a conversation with the public on providing sustainable public services for the future, and encouraging residents to see themselves as citizens, not just consumers of services. The public were encouraged to leave comments and feedback through the Big Conversation including ideas and suggestions for saving money and improving services. The conversation has also been undertaken via attendance at existing meetings/forums supported by a communications campaign. This report covers four key elements: 1. Outlines the results of the Budget Conversation 2020/21 and the communication / publicity conducted to promote the consultation (Section 2.0 to 4.0) 2. Details key findings from thematic engagement and consultation in 2019. This review of all thematic activity in 2019 pulls out key and cross-cutting themes that will have relevance to future priorities and spending plans (Section 5.0) 3.

Consultation Strategy…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………. 7 4. Analysis of Responses…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………. 15 5. Conclusion………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….. 27 6. Appendices………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… 28 2 1. Introduction 1.1 This report is written in support of Transport for Greater Manchester’s (TfGM) full planning application for the development of a new transport interchange, formation of bus concourse, redesign of carriageways and public realm on the site of the current Ashton Bus Station and Metrolink terminus. The site is located to the north west of Ashton town centre, adjacent to the A6043 Wellington Road and Arcades Shopping Centre, and 150 metres from Ashton Rail Station. 1.2 The purpose of this report is to record the consultation that TfGM carried out prior to submitting the full planning application. It describes the interchange scheme and the early design proposals, which formed the basis for consultation. It sets out the methods used to engage with stakeholders and members of local communities and summarises the responses that have influenced the submitted proposals. 1.3 The consultation took place between 15th August and 15th September 2015. 3 2 Proposed development 2.1 The Tameside Interchange is a key component of plans to grow and regenerate Ashton town centre which will also benefit the wider area of Tameside. The development will make it easier for people to change between travelling by bus, tram, bicycle, train and taxi and provide a substantial upgrade in facilities, making public transport, cycling and walking more attractive options. In turn this will increase access to jobs, learning and leisure opportunities. The proposed development supports the Vision Tameside Strategy for the borough.
