Purpose
The Council wants the best quality of life for all our citizens and as a part of this we are committed to improving and transforming our services. However, the Council is facing a significant financial challenge. The Council’s annual budget was signed off by the Council on the 5th of March 2024, which following approval of the budget recommended a review of the Council’s Care Centres. The report confirmed that the review would consider future options for how the services can be delivered as efficiently as possible, to support citizens to live a quality life. The proposed savings are £0.346 million in 2024-2025 and a saving of £6.4 million over 3 years.  A review of the Care Centres has been completed and a public consultation ran from the 14th of October to midday on the 20th of December 2024 which sought feedback on a number of options in relation to how the proposed savings could be delivered. 
Data from the consultation has been analysed to inform the recommended option to Cabinet for decision.
