campaign by Government to ensure all those entitled to Housing and Council Tax Benefit are claiming this benefit appears to have had an impact on this pressure along with joint working initiatives with the DWP. 63 This increasing pressure is expected to continue due to the introduction of the 'Single Gateway' initiative. This involves joint working with the Pensions Service (currently going live) and Job Centre Plus (live date Feb 06) which enables a claimant to complete one form for all forms of benefit, including HB and CTB. Social Services: 64 The Social Services net overall projection for Period 6 is an overspend of £1,688k, an adverse movement of £674k from Period 5.

pressure from Heathrow for non-UASC work which continues to have an adverse financial impact estimated at over £100k so far this year. To illustrate, in the first 6 months of this calendar year alone, we have needed to look after 75 children arriving at Heathrow. 66 We are currently caring for 37 non-UASC children on an ongoing basis who arrived via Heathrow. To put this within the Hillingdon context, our local Looked After population currently stands at 327 children, the non-UASC Heathrow cases therefore inflate this number by more than 10%. The Council is lobbying Government on this issue to secure appropriate levels of funding. 67 We have recently been advised that the Immigration and MPS Ports Safeguarding Team at Heathrow, funded by the Home Office, will be launching the “Kingston Pilot” at the end of this month. This pilot will scrutinise the adequacy arrangements for every child arriving from Jamaica unaccompanied or otherwise. We are in no doubt this will lead to a further rise in Heathrow children coming into this authority’s care, as will the intention to rollout the pilot further to many other countries. None of this work receives any recognition or funding from government. Asylum Seekers £0k breakeven 68 Current assumptions are that this service will be fully funded from the grants available. 69 However, the ongoing development of the service in line with requirements following the Judicial Review coupled with the inadequacy of the funding formula, particularly in relation to care leavers, is causing increasing pressure on the service. The financial risk to the Council in this service area continues to be evaluated and our initial conclusions are that it will be increasingly difficult to meet our statutory responsibilities within the ASG regime. The Council is lobbying Government on this issue to secure appropriate levels of funding. Older Peoples Services: £343k overspend (£210k adverse) 70 The adverse movement reflects continued demographic pressure on this vulnerable group and particularly, significant pressure is being experienced on the Nursing Home budget this service is expected to continue to experience increasing demand pressures over the remainder of the year. Physical Disabilities: £465k overspend (£203k adverse) 71 This adverse movement reflects increasing demand, complexity of care needs and demographic pressures on services that help people with multiple disabilities to live at home. The pressure on the Direct Payments service continues to rise due to additional service users. The Homecare service has experienced an increase in demand, which, while lower than last year, has resulted in increased average costs as a direct result of the higher dependency levels of service users. 72 Pressure from vulnerable people arriving at Heathrow for which the Council is required by statute to provide a service continues and is already £50k above the level of spend in 2004/05. The Council is lobbying Government on this issue to secure appropriate levels of funding. PART 1 – MEMBERS, PUBLIC AND PRESS Cabinet report 10 th November 2005 Page 249
