Integration Joint Board
13th June 2024
Subject : 2023-24 – Year End Financial Performance 
Purpose : To provide an overview of the IJB’s financial performance for the
year ended 2023-24 and the implications for the IJB’s overall
financial position. 
Recommendation : It is recommended that the IJB: 
(a) notes the overall integrated financial performance for the
financial year 2023-24 and the overall year-end overspend of
£4.483m, adjusted to £7.464m after earmarking of funds which
have been received for a specific purpose, noting this is a
significant deterioration from the previously projected position; 
(b) notes the progress with delivery of agreed savings;
(c) approves the budget reductions which are detailed at
paragraph 2.10. 
(d) approve the proposed earmarking as detailed in the report,
leaving a balance of £0.357m in free general fund reserves.
(e) agrees to establish a Finance Working Group, chaired by the
IJB Vice-Chair, to support increased oversight of the financial
position.

1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 
1.1 The report provides an overview of the financial position for the Partnership and
outlines the unaudited year-end outturn position for 2023-24.   
1.2  The outturn is an overall year-end overspend of £4.483m, which when adjusted for
new earmarked reserves of £2.981m is increased to £7.464m (2.4%), which is an
adverse movement of £3.293m from month 10.  Of this adverse variance £0.486m
relates to the local government pay award funding shortfall which could not have
been projected. The position is reduced to £5.464m after drawing down a further £2m
from reserves which was agreed to support the financial position during 2023-24.
The shortfall is funded from unearmarked reserves and as such there is no
requirement at this stage to request additional funding from North Ayrshire Council
or NHS Ayrshire and Arran. 
Projecting the IJB financial position continued to be challenging during 2023-24 as
there were a number of areas of uncertainty throughout the year.  Social care service
provision in particular is difficult to project, with variability due to capacity and demand
and can move significantly with low volume/high-cost packages of care. A detailed
review of the year-end position has also identified inaccuracies in some projections
which have not occurred in previous years and action is being taken to rectify this for
2024-25. 
The ongoing financial risks were reported to the IJB during the year.  These
challenges will continue into 2024-25. 
1.3  The main areas of pressure are residential placements for children, care at home,
supplementary staff in wards and Unplanned Activities (UnPACs) within the lead
partnership for mental health. 
1.4 The final unaudited IJB outturn position has been adjusted to reflect the impact of
Lead Partnership services. The underspend in relation to North Lead Partnership
services for Mental Health is not fully attributed to the North HSCP as a share has
been allocated to East and South HSCPs, similarly the impact of the outturn on East
and South led services has been shared with North, both on an NRAC basis in line
with the agreed risk sharing mechanism. 
1.5 Financial balance has not been achieved in 2023-24 and the 2024-25 budget
highlights several areas of significant risk. Financial modelling also anticipates a very
challenging position in subsequent years.  The IJB approved a balanced budget for
2024-25 which included the delivery of signifcant in-year savings alongside the
medium term Transformation Plan.

2. 2023-24 UNAUDITED BUDGET OUTTURN POSITION 
2.1 The report includes an overview of the financial position, explanations for the main
budget variances and an update on progress in terms of savings delivery.   
2.2 FINANCIAL OUTTURN 2023-24 
Against the full-year budget of £311.528m there is a reported overspend of £4.483m
pre-earmarking.   The Integration Scheme outlines that there is an expectation that
the IJB take account of the totality of resources available to balance the budget in
year.   Following this approach, an integrated view of the financial position should be
taken, however it is useful to note that this overall position consists of an overspend
of £4.630m in social care services and an underspend of £0.147m in health services.   
This position is before the earmarking of funds for use in future years.  After
earmarking the overspend of £7.464m consists of an overspend of £6.634m in social
care services and an overspend of £0.830m in health services.   
Appendix A provides the financial overview of the partnership position, this details
the outturn on an HSCP managed basis, on an IJB delegated basis (following Lead
Partnership recharge adjustments) and the final adjusted outturn position after
accounting for new earmarked reserve balances. 
The sections that follow outline the most significant variances in service expenditure
compared to the approved budgets. 
2.3 Health and Community Care Services 
Against the full-year budget of £91.174m there is an overspend of £4.451m (4.9%)
and the main variances are: 
a) Care home placements including respite placements (net position after service
user contributions and charging order income) underspent by £0.271m (£0.276m
adverse). 
The budgeted number of permanent placements was 780 and at month 12 there
were 791 placements.   
The level of income recovered from charging orders is included in the outturn
above and is £0.696m over recovered (£0.097m favourable). This income is
challenging to project as it depends on the length of the legal process and time
taken to sell the property that the charging order is registered to. 
b) Interim care beds are underspent by £0.326m (£0.074m adverse).  This funding
has now ceased and will not be available in 2024-25. Any interim care beds used
in 2024-25 will need to be met from the core care home placement budget.

Page 4

c) Care at home (in house and purchased) is £3.497m overspent (£3.341m adverse
movement). The position includes an overspend in in-house services of £2.868m
(£3.230m adverse) and reflects the cost of meeting the significant demand and
level of provision for care at home support. The previous projections have been
reviewed in detail to understand the reason for the substantial adverse movement
and this has highlighted some inaccuracies in the projections throughout the year,
rather than unexpected additional spend towards the year-end. These have been
rectified for 2024-25.  There is also an overspend in purchased services of
£0.629m (£0.111m adverse) as the budget was reduced to reflect the additional
costs of bringing some services in-house sooner than planned. 
d) Reablement services are £0.185m underspent (no movement) due to vacancies. 
e) Care at Home Charging Income under recovered by £0.028m (£0.022m
favourable).  The under recovery is due to the ongoing shift towards personal care
which is non chargeable. 
f) Physical Disability Services - underspend of £0.377m (£0.108m favourable) in
community care packages, £0.175m underspend (£0.267m adverse) in direct
payments and £0.544m overspend (£0.012m adverse) for residential placements.
There is also an under-recovery of income of £0.126m (no movement).   
g) Anam Cara is overspent by £0.073m (no movement) due to covering vacancies
and sickness absence (£0.039m), property costs (£0.018m) and under-recovered
income (£0.056m).   
h) Integrated Island Services is £0.572m overspent (£0.264m adverse movement). 
The most significant variance is an overspend at Montrose House of £0.328m
(adverse movement of £0.064m) which relates to employee costs (the net cost of
agency staff versus vacancies). 
i) District Nursing – overspend by £0.200m (£0.001m favourable movement) due to
an overspend on bank nursing costs and supplies. 
j) Specialist Rehab wards - overspent by £0.172m which is an £0.032m adverse
movement (Redburn ward £0.203m overspent and Douglas Grant £0.031m
underspent).  The overspend is due to cover costs for vacancies as well as
supplementary staffing for patients who require one to one support.   
k) Wards 1 and 2 - overspent by £1.057m (£0.053m adverse movement) due to
increased use of supplementary staffing. 
l) Cumbrae Lodge Continuing Care beds - underspent by £0.260m (no movement)
due to a reduced charge to reflect the reduction in beds used, this forms part of a
saving during 2024-25.

2.4 Mental Health Services 
Against the full-year budget of £100.990m there is a projected underspend of
£2.351m (2.3%) prior to the reallocation of the Lead Partnership variance to East and
South HSCP.  The main variances are: 
a) Learning Disabilities are overspent by £1.048m (£0.189m adverse) and the main
variances are: 
• Care Packages (including residential and direct payments) - overspend of
£0.477m in community care packages (£0.660m adverse), overspend of
£0.166m in direct payments (£0.144m favourable) and £0.410m for
residential placements (£0.041m favourable). 
• Void costs for Supported Accommodation are overspent by £0.147m
(£0.023m adverse movement). This will reduce into 2024-25 as all
developments are now operational. 
• Charges to supported accommodation service users – is over recovered
by £0.124m (£0.124m favourable movement). 
• Trindlemoss non-employee costs are overspent by £0.081m (£0.007m
favourable).  This is due to increased energy charges. 
b) Community Mental Health services are underspent by £1.083m (£0.646m
favourable movement) which is mainly due to an underspend of £0.991m
(£0.548m favourable) in community packages and an overspend in residential
placements of £0.128m (£0.147m favourable). The main reason for underspend
is the availability and capacity of adult community providers to deliver new
packages of care.  The favourable movement partly reflects an inaccurate
projection which included the cost of anticipated packages which have been
approved but not yet been commissioned from a provider. 
c) Addiction Services – are £0.641m underspent (£0.641m favourable movement). 
This relates to the ADP which was reported as on-line during the year and this
full underspend has been earmarked for use in future years. 
d) The Lead Partnership for Mental Health is £1.675m underspent prior to
earmarking of £1.957m and £0.282m overspent after earmarking (£0.058m
favourable movement) and the main variances are as follows: 
• Adult Inpatients – overspent by £0.802m (£0.272m adverse movement) due
to overspends in supplementary staff for enhanced observations 1:1 and 2:1,
staff cover due to sickness (inc. covid outbreaks) and reduced bed sale
income.

Page 6

• The UNPACS (Unplanned Activities) budget - overspent by £1.313m
(£0.145m adverse movement). These placements are for individuals with very
specific needs that require a higher level of security and/or care from a staff
group with a particular skill set/competence.  There are no local NHS secure
facilities for women, people with a learning disability or people with
neurodevelopmental disorder. This can necessitate an UNPACs placement
with a specialist provider which can be out-of-area.  The nature of mental
health UNPACs spend is that it is almost exclusively on medium or long term
complex secure residential placements which are very expensive so a small
increase in placements can have a high budgetary impact. Due to the
complexity and risk involved, transitions between units or levels of security
can take many months. Applications to approve a placement are made to the
Associate Medical Director for Mental Health who needs to be satisfied that
the placement is appropriate and unavoidable prior to this being agreed. The
adverse movement is due to year end service level agreement charges being
higher than expected.  
• Learning Disability Services - underspent by £0.412m (£0.111m favourable
movement).  During the year there was a high usage of supplementary staffing
due to backfill for sickness, increased and sustained enhanced observations
and vacancies.  The enhanced observations are reviewed on a daily basis.
The favourable movement is due to a reduction in the use of bank staff from
month 10.
• Elderly Inpatients - overspent by £0.295m (£0.126m adverse) due to the use
of supplementary staffing.  There are several patients who are on enhanced
observations and bank costs remain high.
• The Innovation Fund - underspent by £0.200m (£0.034m adverse) due to
slippage within some of the projects and not all of the funding was allocated.
• The Directorate cost centre – underspent by £0.923m (£1.018m favourable
movement). This is due an underspend on Facilities Improvement Funding of
£1.021m which was reported as online during the year as it will be earmarked
for use on 2024-25.  This is partially offset by an overspend of £0.049m on
supplies and £0.012m of legal fees.
• Action 15 – underspent by £0.410m.  This was reported as on-line during the
year as the underspend will be carried forward and earmarked for use in 2024-
25.  
• LD Health Checks – underspent by £0.120m (£0.120m favourable
movement). This was reported as online during the year as it will be
earmarked for use on 2024-25.    
• CAMHS – underspent by £1.198m of which £0.803m relates to vacancy
turnover savings (reported below) and £0.395m relates to the Mental Health
Outcome Framework (MHOF).   The MHOF underspend will be earmarked
and carried forward for use in 2024-25.
• The turnover target for vacancy savings for the Lead Partnership is held within
the Lead Partnership as this is a Pan-Ayrshire target.  There is an over-
recovery of the vacancy savings target of £1.572m (£0.457m favourable) in
2023-24, further information is included in the table below:

Page 7

The areas contributing to the achieved vacancy savings are noted below:
• Addictions £0.009m
• Adult Community MH £0.101m
• CAMHS £0.803m
• Mental Health Admin £0.345m
• Psychiatry £0.231m
• Psychology £0.885m
• Associate Nurse Director £0.061m
Vacancy Savings Target (£0.873m)
Achieved to March 2024 £2.435m
Over/(Under) Achievement £1.572m
2.5 Children and Justice Services 
Children’s Services
Against the full-year budget of £40.135m there is an overspend of £3.296m (8.2%)
pre earmarking and the main variances are: 
a) Care Experienced Children and Young People is projected to overspend by
£4.021m (£0.842m favourable). The main areas within this are noted below: 
• Children’s residential placements are overspent by £5.367m (£0.078m
favourable). We started 2023/24 with 32 external placements and finished
with 37 placements. Within the £5.367m there is £0.232m relating to
enhanced costs for placements. There are a number of factors leading to this
challenging position: 
• We have 32 places available in our internal children’s houses, due to
demand these have been operating at 100%+ occupancy for some
time, leading to increased use of external placements where
residential care is required.
• The requirement to support Unaccompanied Asylum-Seeking
Children (UASC) under the National Transfer Scheme and to support
trafficked young people who have been identified in North Ayrshire.
• A number of young people in residential care have requested
Continuing Care, whereby a young person can remain in their
placement until age 21.
• Where appropriate young people are placed to meet their educational
needs, the cost of Residential School Placements in the most cases
is shared 50/50 with Education services. 
Children’s Services are continuing to work with other services including Education
and Housing to address the challenges through the work of the ‘Brighter Pathways’
Programme Board and associated workstreams. This forms part of the
Transformation Plan which was approved at the March IJB.

Page 8

• Grant funding in relation to Unaccompanied Asylum-Seeking Children
(£0.731m) was incorrectly omitted from the in-year projections.
• Looked After and Accommodated Children (fostering, adoption, kinship etc)
is £0.608m underspent (£0.015m adverse).  This also reflects additional
monies received to support the uplift in rates for fostering and kinship
placements (16+year olds) and the costs associated with this.
• Children with disabilities – there is a net underspend of £0.057m (£0.014m
adverse) across residential placements, direct payments and community
packages. 
• Residential respite – placements are overspent by £0.070m (£0.016m
adverse movement).    These short-term placements are used to prevent an
admission to full time care or to avoid placement breakdown. 
b) Head of Service – is overspent by £0.439m (£0.103m adverse).  The overspend
is mainly due to the planned saving of £0.233m in relation to the staff
reconfiguration in the children’s houses which was not achieved in 23-24.  There
are also costs of £0.109m for the JII (Joint Investigative Interview) project which
is not funded. 
c) Lead Partnership – Children NHS Services – underspend of £0.081m (£0.081m
favourable movement).  This has been reported as online during the year as the
majority of the underspend, £0.066m, relates to the Breast-Feeding Network
project which will be earmarked for use in 2024-25. 
d) Garnock Valley, North Coast and Arran – is underspent by £1.190m which is
£1.201m favourable movement.  This mostly relates to the Whole Family
Wellbeing Fund which underspent by £1.313m.  This was reported as online
during the year as the underspend will be earmarked for use in 2024-25 and 2025-
26. 
e) Justice Services – is £0.063m overspent (£0.063m adverse movement) which is
mainly due to late notification of a reduction in the level of funding.  There was no
additional grant funding to mitigate the impact of the 23/24 pay award. 
2.6 ALLIED HEALTH PROFESSIONALS (AHP) 
The non-employee costs element of the AHP services are projected to be on-line. 
All underspends in employee costs have contributed to payroll turnover. 
2.7 CHIEF SOCIAL WORK OFFICER 
There is an underspend of £0.535m (£0.021m favourable) mainly due to a delay in
spend in the Carers Strategy funding.

Page 9

2.8 MANAGEMENT AND SUPPORT 
Management and Support Services are underspent by £1.452m (£0.293m adverse)
and the main areas of underspend are: 
• There is slippage on the LD and MH transition funding of £0.956m (£0.002m
favourable) due to delays in children transitioning into adult services.
• The agreed local government pay award was not fully funded.  The total cost
of the pay award was £4.826m against the budgeted increase of £1.982m.
The additional cost of £2.844m was partially met by additional recurring
Scottish Government funding of £2.358m and the gap of £0.486m (£0.219m
adverse) is an in-year overspend. Additional funding has been provided in
2024-25 which will cover the remaining gap on a recurring basis.
• The apprenticeship levy overspent by £0.123m (£0.123m adverse
movement).
• Multi-Disciplinary Team funding underspent by £0.208m (£0.208m favourable
movement).
• An over-recovery of payroll turnover of £0.394m (£0.261m adverse) for social
care services and an over-recovery of payroll turnover of £0.859m (£0.313m
favourable) for health services as outlined in the table below.   
The turnover targets and achievement for the financial year for Health and Social
Care services outwith the Lead Partnership is noted below: 
Social Care Health
Vacancy Savings Target (3.014m) (1.433m)
Achieved to March 2024 3.408m 2.292m
Over/(Under) Achievement 0.394m 0.859m 
The areas contributing to the health and social care vacancy savings are spread
across a wide range of services with vacancy savings being achieved in most areas.   
There have been no intentional plans to pause or delay recruitment and services
have actively continued to recruit; in some service areas it has proven difficult to fill
posts. 
The turnover target for the North Lead Partnership for Mental Health services is
detailed within the Lead Partnership information at section 2.4.

Appendix B provides an overview of those service changes which do have financial
savings attached to them and the BRAG status around the deliverability of each
saving. 
2.10 Budget Changes 
The Integration Scheme states that “either party may increase it’s in year payment to
the Integration Joint Board.  Neither party may reduce the payment in-year to the
Integration Joint Board nor Services managed on a Lead Partnership basis….
without the express consent of the Integration Joint Board.”

Note that adjustment 1 is a pan-Ayrshire budget reduction of £243,000 in relation to
Foxgrove. This contribution requires further due diligence with NHS Ayrshire and
Arran and NSD. The IJB are asked to approve this, and any adjustment will be
rectified in the 2024/25 financial year. 
2.11 Pan Ayrshire Lead Partnership services and Large Hospital Set Aside 
Lead Partnerships: - The IJB outturn position is adjusted to reflect the impact of Lead
Partnership services. The outturn for all Lead Partnership services is shared across
the 3 Partnerships on an NRAC basis. 
The outturn in relation to North Lead Partnership services is not fully attributed to the
North IJB as a share is allocated to East and South Partnerships; similarly, the impact
of the outturn on East and South led services is shared with North. At Month 12 the
MH lead partnership is underspent by £1.675m prior to earmarking of £1.957m and
£0.282m overspent after earmarking (£0.058m favourable movement) (£0.658m
NRAC share for East and £0.471m for South, East and South Ayrshire will be
required to make provision in their own reserves for the earmarked elements of
funding). 
South HSCP – overspend of £0.481m (£0.083m favourable) of which £0.178m will
be allocated to North. The variance is mainly due to an overspend of £0.451m in the
community store to replace obsolete equipment, which will reduce maintenance
costs in the medium term, £0.134m in the continence service and an underspend
£0.103m in the Family Nurse Partnership.   
East HSCP – underspend of £1.202m in total (of which £0.200m will be allocated to
North) prior to pan-Ayrshire earmarking £1.399m.  
The underspend is mainly due to: 
Allied Health Professions (Lead Partnership)
There is an underspend of £0.210m for 2023/24 which mainly relates to staffing
savings in Physiotherapy / MSK and Podiatry services and is partially offset by
increased Orthotics costs. There is a net underspend of £0.052m on the Adult Tier 3
Weight Management Service which has been earmarked on a pan-Ayrshire basis to
offset future expenditure. 
Primary Care and Out of Hours Services (Lead Partnership) 
On a managed services basis, there is an underspend of £1.055m on the Primary
Care Lead Partnership budget (prior to pan-Ayrshire earmarking £1.343m). This

Page 12

includes a net overall underspend of £0.662m on the Primary Care Improvement
Fund which has been earmarked for carry-forward on an actual spend basis at
individual IJB level, as well as Mental Health Wellbeing Funding in Primary Care
funding £0.218m, which has also been carried-forward. In addition, pan-Ayrshire
earmarking of sums to offset future costs in GP premises improvements £0.170m,
expansion to Primary Care estates £0.148m and the Phlebotomy service £0.067m
have been accounted for. 
Within the overall Primary Care underspend, there is a £0.791m underspend in
Dental services that reflects that staffing numbers are running at less than
establishment. Recruitment over the 2023/24 financial year is likely to impact going-
forward. A sum of £0.079m has been earmarked on a pan-Ayrshire basis to offset
future expenditure on Dental Practices improvements. 
In addition, there are reduced costs within Primary Care contracting and support
£1.128m, which are offset by additional Primary Medical Services costs £1.427m, as
well as additional costs in Out of Hours services £0.100m, with work ongoing to re-
design and mitigate going forward into 2024/25. Funding has been allocated to fully
offset Urgent Care Pathway costs £1.182m, as well as Covid-19 Therapeutics costs
£0.226m. 
Prison and Police Healthcare (Lead Partnership)
The £0.103m overspend is largely due to increased costs associated with the new
national medical contract, including additional opioid replacement therapy
medication costs. These issues have been recognised as pan-Ayrshire pressures as
part of the 2024/25 budget. 
Other Lead Services
The £0.040m underspend wholly relates to less than budgeted Area Wide Evening
Services staffing costs. 
Set Aside: - Work has been undertaken with partnerships to progress and develop
set aside arrangements to fully implement the legislative requirement.  This includes
arrangements in relation to the use of Directions, Joint Commissioning Plans and
overall progression towards fair share allocations of resources. 
Further work has been undertaken through the Ayrshire Finance Leads group to
establish baseline resources for each partnership and how this compares to the
NRAC “fair share” of resources. Ayrshire Finance Leads have now agreed a
baseline methodology for set aside budgets which involves using the four full years
prior to the pandemic, 2016/17 – 2019/20 inclusive. 
The 2023/24 actual usage information is not known until after the IJB date, so the
info used is the baseline at 2022/23 prices.

The annual budget for Acute Services is £424.2m.  The directorate overspent by
£36.1 million at year end. This was caused by overspends on agency medical and
nursing staff, together with drug expenditure, equipment and supplies. These have
been required due to the level of operational pressure being experienced, in
common with many other areas in Scotland. Around 160 additional unfunded beds
remained open across both main hospital sites during March. 
There is a material underlying deficit caused by: 
• Unachieved efficiency savings
• Length of Stay (LoS) in NHS Ayrshire and Arran acute hospitals is above the
Scottish average 
• High expenditure on medical and nursing agency staff, high rates of absence
and vacancies causing service pressure.
• Delayed transfers of care and high acuity of patients. 
The IJBs and the Health Board work closely in partnership to maintain service and
improve performance. Initial work has commenced to develop a joint strategic
commissioning plan for the provision of unscheduled care services, which will outline
these services will be delivered over the medium-term using the set aside resources
available. This will support a shift in the balance of care into the community and
support a reduction in the number of acute beds. 
2.12 FINANCIAL RISKS 
There were a number of financial risk areas during the year that impacted on the
financial position. Some of these will continue into 2024-25 and there are increased
risks as a result of the 2023-24 outturn. 
• The underlying levels of overspend which are recurring into 2024-25 and may
impact on the Partnership’s ability to continue to sustain service levels.
• The IJB free general fund reserves are almost depleted, leading to an
increased risk of an overspend in 2024-25 requiring additional in-year
financial contributions from NHS Ayrshire and Arran and North Ayrshire
Council. 
• High levels of inflation impacted on costs incurred directly by the Partnership
and on our partner providers. The level of inflation has reduced to more
normal levels by the end of 2023-24.

Page 14

• High risk areas of low volume / high-cost services areas e.g. Children’s
residential placements, Learning Disability care packages and complex care
packages; 
• Progress with the work to develop set aside arrangements and the risk
sharing arrangements agreed as part of this.
• Ongoing implementation costs of the Scottish Government policy directives
• Lead / hosted service arrangements, including managing pressures and
reporting this across the 3 IJBs.
• The impact on Lead Partnership and acute services from decisions taken by
other Ayrshire areas.
• The use of supplementary staffing for enhanced observations across a
number of service areas.
• The use of high-cost agency staff to support frontline service delivery in areas
where there are recruitment challenges.
• Continuing risks associated with provider sustainability.
• Insufficient funding to meet the cost of the pay settlements.
• The NHS Ayrshire and Arran Health Board financial deficit and the risks
around further escalation in the national framework for financial escalation. 
North Ayrshire IJB have already discussed our position in relation to the
request for payment for delayed discharges. 
These risks will continue to be monitored during 2024-25. 
2.13 RESERVES 
The IJB reserves position is summarised in the table below. 
The opening ‘free’ general fund balance of £5.821m was held as a contingency
balance; this equated to around 2.1% of the initial approved IJB budget for 2023-24
which was within, but towards the lower end, of the target range of 2%-4%. The table
has been updated to reflect the draws during 2023-24. The unearmarked balance on
31st March 2024 of £0.357m does not meet the target range.

Page 15

The 2023-24 budget approved the use of £1.252m of previously earmarked reserves
to support a balanced budget position for 2023-24. The HSCP earmarked reserves
also includes a further amount of £2.000m which was agreed to support the financial
position during 2023-24 and this was drawn down. 
The £1.774m HSCP earmarked reserve relates to the Service Redesign and Change
Fund; of this total only £0.110m remains uncommitted with the balance being
committed to investment in an early intervention approach within Children and
Families social work and supporting the delivery of the transformation programme
across 2024-25 and 2025-26. 
The reserves position reflects the national situation. At Q2, 24 of 27 IJBs that
contributed to a Scotland-wide survey were projecting an overspend at the year-end.
These adverse variances were being addressed through the implementation of
financial recovery plans and the non-recurring use of reserves. 26% of IJBs expected
to fully utilise all of their reserves during 2023-24 with some seeking additional in-
year funding from partners. 
2.14 2024/25 Financial Position 
The IJB set a balanced budget for 2024/25 on 14th March 2024. This did not require
any draw on reserves but did include the approval of £10.290m of savings to achieve
financial balance. 
Following the finalisation of the 2023/24 outturn which is outlined in this report, very
early projections for 2024/25 have been prepared in relation to the most significant
2023/24 variances, noting that many areas will continue to impact on the position and
there have already been two months of spend in the new financial year. 
This highlights a possible early overspend position of £4.864m and so, in line with
the requirements of the integration scheme, a detailed financial recovery plan will be
developed. This will be brought to the August IJB for approval.  Financial recovery
actions will however require to be implemented immediately given we are nearly
reaching the end of Q1 of the financial year. 
This projected overspend is based on known care provision and the outturn position
for 2023/24 adjusted for any agreed budget changes. 
FINANCIAL RECOVERY PLANS: 
Early actions which are being taken to reduce the projected overspend are shown in
the table below, with high level targets for improvement which have been shared with
service leads:

Page 16

£m £m
Initial projected overspend  (4.9)   
Reduce care home placements in line with budget saving 0.7 
Reduce children’s external placements – early reduction

0.5 
Reduce CAH capacity/delay recruitment/in-house
efficiencies
1.0 
Freeze adult community support approvals outwith

- 
Respite provision – ensure use of in-house capacity is
maximised
- 
Community wards – reduce supplementary staffing and
review bed capacity 
0.5 
Vacancy management and temporary posts 0.5 3.2   
Adjusted 2024-25 projected overspend  (1.7)   
Services will develop detailed plans to deliver on these cost reduction targets while
carefully managing the level of risk. This will include the preparation of equality
impact assessments. 
Any decisions to implement changes which go beyond previously agreed savings or
have significant impact on service delivery and the wider system will be brought back
to the IJB for further consideration as part of the financial recovery plan. 
MANAGEMENT ACTIONS/CONTROLS: 
Further immediate management actions which are being implemented include: 
• Review of expenditure authorisation levels across the Partnership and
escalate specific decisions to senior officers.
• Staff communication in relation to discretionary/non-essential spend.
• Review of temporary posts and robust vacancy management/approval.
• Strengthen across services the existing approval and prioritisation
approaches for new care requests, which will be approved in line with resource
availability.
• Review of future year savings or transformation programmes to identify scope
for acceleration. 
GOVERNANCE: 
• In order to facilitate greater scrutiny of the financial position and the delivery
of the financial recovery plan during 2024/25, it is recommended that the IJB
agree to establish a ‘Finance Working Group’, chaired by the IJB Vice Chair.

Page 17

This would meet monthly to facilitate increased oversight and scrutiny of the
financial position and transformation programme as well as detailed budget
planning for future financial years. A ‘terms of reference’ document will be
developed ahead of the August IJB and expressions of interest sought from
IJB members. The Director and Heads of Service will be members of the
group.
• Strengthen support from Finance Team to front line services and increased
engagement with Heads of Service and Senior Management Teams, including
line by line reviews of all budget areas.  Review and enhancement of
frequency and level of financial information provided to support oversight and
decision making in line with financial constraints, with an added focus on areas
of underspend to maximise opportunities to delay or stop spend and contribute
to the overall financial challenge. 
3. PROPOSALS 
3.1 Anticipated Outcomes 
Continuing to closely monitor the financial position will allow the IJB to take corrective
action where required to ensure the Partnership can deliver services in 2024-25 from
within the available resource, thereby limiting the financial risk to the funding
partners. 
The transformational change programme will have the greatest impact on the
financial sustainability of the partnership, the IJB require to have a clear
understanding of progress with the delivery of the transformation plan. 
3.3 Measuring Impact 
The financial position reported is the unaudited year-end outturn position for 2023-
24, further information will also be contained within the unaudited IJB annual
accounts.  Ongoing updates to the financial position including the reserves position
will be reported to the IJB throughout 2024-25. 
4. IMPLICATIONS 
4.1 Financial
The outturn is an overall year-end overspend of £4.483m, which when adjusted for
new earmarked reserves of £2.981m is increased to £7.464m. The report outlines
the main variances for individual services.   
4.2 Human Resources
The report highlights vacancy or turnover savings achieved during the year. Services
will review any staffing establishment plans and recruitment in line with normal
practice when implementing service change and reviews as per agreement with the
IJB, there is no intention to sustain the staffing capacity reduction on a recurring or
planned basis. 
4.3 Legal
None.

Page 18

4.4 Equality/Socio-Economic
None. 
4.5 Risk
Para 2.13 highlights the financial risks.
The report falls in line with the agreed risk appetite statement which is a low-risk
appetite in respect to adherence to standing financial instructions, financial controls
and financial statutory duties and a high-risk appetite in relation to finance and value
for money.
The ‘financial viability of the HSCP’ risk on our strategic risk register will have the risk
scoring increased. The strategic risk register will be brought to the IJB in August for
approval, to allow time for consideration of the wider risks to service delivery as a
consequence of the financial position. 
4.6 Community Wealth Building
None. 
4.7 Key Priorities
The ability to deliver on our strategic priorities may be compromised due to the
greater financial risk faced in 2024-25 and the increased focus required on financial
rather than service improvement. This will be kept under close scrutiny throughout
2024-25. If we are unable to successfully develop a financial recovery plan to achieve
financial balance, consideration may be given to revising the strategic commissioning
plan. 
5. CONSULTATION
5.1 This report has been produced in consultation with relevant budget holders and the
Partnership Senior Management Team. 
5.2 The IJB financial monitoring report is shared with the NHS Ayrshire and Arran
Director of Finance and North Ayrshire Council’s Head of Finance after the report
has been finalised for the IJB.

Amber Red 273,000     Review staffing provision within children’s houses with the saving
phased over 2023/24 and 2024/25 – 50/50
2 Deliver the Strategic Plan objectives for
Older People's Residential Services -
Reduction in Care Home Places
Amber Blue 1,000,000  The budget for 23/24 would fund an average 780 places at the
current split of nursing/residential (60/40).  This reflects reduced
demand and investment in CAH to support more people at home.
3 Care Home Respite Amber Amber 560,000     All respite care to be provided in-house at Anam Cara and
Montrose House and any use of other respite provision funded via
Carers budget.
4 Montrose House Capacity Green Amber 210,000     Registration amended from 30 beds to 20 beds across 2 staffed
wings.  This is supported by introduction of intermediate care beds
at Arran War Memorial Hospital.
5 Reconfigure respite provision at Anam
Cara
Amber Amber 112,000     The service is currently relocated to Taigh Mor (8 beds) on a
temporary basis and this proposal would reduce capacity from 14
beds to 9 beds in one wing when it reverts to Anam Cara.
6 Trindlemoss pool running costs Green Blue 85,000       Trindlemoss Pool has never opened due to ongoing maintenance
issues.  The historic budgeted running costs are £0.085m but it is
expected actual costs would be much higher.  The pool will not
open and alternative therapies will be provided e.g. bounce
7 Trindlemoss Day Care Green Blue 168,932     Trindlemoss day opportunities staffing was restructured during
2021/22 and 2022/23.  This saving has already been achieved and
will remove the additional staffing budget.
8 Intermediate Placement Scheme -
cessation of service
Green Blue 30,000       The contract has ceased and will not be renewed.
9 Carers Act Funding - Substitution of
Spend
Green Blue 500,000     There is a plan in place to invest across carer service contract,
preparation of carer plans, short breaks and other support to
carers.  This proposal will invest £0.500m in contributions to Red
Rose House, Roslin House, Anam Cara, waiving of charges and
day services.
