38.11 These include staff rationalisation and management reorganisation. Given current Council Policy, it is assumed that these options will be achieved through voluntary redundancies and natural wastage. It must be noted, however, that the options relating to staff savings are based on a theoretical implementation date of 1st April 1997, to illustrate the full year effect. Actual savings will need to be reduced pro-rata. It should also be noted that at this stage, it is too early to assess the impact of any voluntary redundancies on services and that it will be extremely difficult to implement any reorganisation through voluntary redundancy alone. Progress on implementing voluntary redundancies will be reported to the next cycle. 38.12 Even if the full £1.998m were to be achieved in 1997/98, there would remain an overall shortfall of £2.67m of the £4.4m. Further work in progress 38.13 Further work to reduce the shortfall is underway including examining the further potential for maximising Community Care Grant monies and further potential savings in Children’s Provider Services 38.14 Members are advised that the further £2.67m budget reductions cannot be achieved without sizeable service reductions. A £2m cut in service would equate to a 40% reduction in the capacity of the Home Care Service with a loss of 156 Home Care jobs and a loss of service to 560 service users or the closure of 11 day service units with a loss of 83 jobs and 447 places for service users. 38.15 In accordance with the recommendations of the Finance and Property Sub Committee on 16th December 1996, Members are invited to consider the options for budget reductions and if not supported, to identify alternative options in order to achieve a balanced budget.

SOCIAL SERVICES CAPITAL PROGRAMME 1996/97 PERIOD 9 MONITORING ITEM 39 Contact Officer: Rodney D’Costa / Dave Hardman Telephone: 01895 250398 / 01895 250876 SUMMARY This report provides an update on the 1996/97 Capital Programme at period 9, December 1996. RECOMMENDATIONS 1. That the Committee notes the progress on the 1996/97 programme. 2. That the Committee notes the two year programme for 1996/97 and 1997/98 3. That the Committee notes the addition of following items to the programme:- • the reprovision of Colham Green Day Services • the reprovision of Acol Crescent Special Needs Day Services • the installation of a lift at Hatton Grove INFORMATION 39.1 The programme for 1996/97 to 1998/99 is set out in appendix A • Work commenced on The Burroughs at the end of September and is on target for completion by the end of March 1997. • The residential home for people with multiple disabilities, in Yiewsley Communal Gardens, was opened on 7th October 1996. • The Willowtree Lane Resource Centre has been on hold for some time pending finalisation of the funding arrangements. The project is unlikely to go ahead in the near future. The capital funds have therefore been redeployed to areas where resources are more immediately required. • The funding for the refurbishment of Mountbatten House, and the feasibility studies on Ryefield and Whitby Dene, have also been deferred pending the outcome of the Older Persons Strategy and the Council’s overall decision on its Capital Programme for the coming year. • Planning for the Respite Care Unit for Asian older people is now well advanced.
