6.2  Appendices 1 to 3 show a detailed budget position for each care group including
South led hosted services. 
6.3 In line with Scottish Government guidance, unspent ring-fenced funding must be
transferred to relevant reserves at the end of each financial year for use in later
years.  Subject to IJB approval, in-year underspends will be allocated to manage,
on a non-recurring basis, ring-fenced commitments, Strategic Commissioning Plan
commitments and any funding gap which has been highlighted in the North
Lanarkshire IJB financial plans. 
7. 2023/24 FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
7.1 The current financial forecast for 2024/25 projects a yearly underspend of
£1.429m relating to various under and overspends across the whole integrated
budget.  A summary of the main variances including financial challenges and key
pressures are highlighted below: 
7.1.1 Employee Costs – projected underspend of £14.547m 
As reported throughout 2023/24, there are continuing challenges in terms of
recruitment and retention across all service areas.  For a wide range of posts
recruitment has been unsuccessful due to the availability of the skills mix required
or the competition being offered by other private and public sectors.     
As highlighted in the financial plan, included in this underspend is £6.961m relating
to a non-recurring reduction in pension contributions.  This will be used to offset
overspends in other areas of Adult Social Care during 2024/25 to allow time for
savings plans to be realised.   
7.1.2 Payments to Other Bodies (PTOB) – projected overspend of £4.824m 
There are two main areas of overspend within PTOB which are independent care
homes and self-directed support (SDS) costs. 
 Independent care homes have a yearly budget to fund 1,361 care plans but at
present the number of care plans is 1,477 resulting in a overspend of £1.749m. 
 SDS is similarly overspend due to a budget to fund 2,617 care plans against
2,711 care plans for 2024/25.   
This is an area which is currently under review and is included in the 2 year
savings delivery plan.  Further details are at Appendix 6. 
7.1.3 Prescribing – projected overspend of £5.108m
The current overspend is attributable to the continued increase in costs associated
with the number of medicines being prescribed.  This projection is based on actual

prescribing data available to April 2024.   The forecast will be updated as further
data becomes available.   
7.1.4 North Lanarkshire Hosted Services – projected overspend of £2.924m
The main variances within North Lanarkshire hosted services relate to: 
 Continence Services – overspend of £0.664m which is related to increases in
product and delivery costs. 
 Children Services – overspend of £1.597m which is mainly due to additional
expenditure relating to diabetic glucose monitoring machines and insulin
pumps. 
 Prisoner Healthcare – overspend of £0.663m due to the increase in costs
linked to the delivery of the new pharmacy contract and drug prices associated
with prescribing. 
7.2 Throughout the year, adjustments are made to the original budget due to
additional budget allocations and budget transfers.  Appendix 4 provides a
reconciliation of the main budget adjustments applied this financial year and the
table below shows the current funding allocation received from Scottish
Government: 
Scottish Government Allocations 2024/25
£m
Alcohol and Drug Partnership Funding 2.146
Digital Mental Health Licences 0.120
Distress Brief Intervention 2.780

Family Nurse Partnership 1.074
Long Covid Support Fund 0.224

Specialty and Specialist Doctors Contract 0.194
TOTAL 12.930 
*Further discussion is underway with Scottish Government regarding this funding
stream as the allocation received in July does not cover all the partnerships
current Mental Health commitments. 
8. SAVINGS
8.1 The saving delivery plan commenced in April 2024 with a target of £29.093m over
financial years 2024/25 and 2025/26.    
8.2 CORE management team and various sustainability and value groups have been
meeting on a regular basis to discuss and monitor the management actions
reported in the financial plans to progress savings and redesign of services to help
support future years budget planning.  This includes the following areas of work: 
 Review of financial planning assumptions for 2024/25.
 Review of all current vacancies including length of time left vacant.
 Review of discretionary spend and supplementary staffing.
 Updates on saving planning in significant areas of budget pressures.

9. GENERAL RESERVES
9.1 It is important for the long-term financial stability and the sustainability of the IJB
that sufficient funds are held in reserve to manage unanticipated pressures from
year to year.  The requirement for financial reserves is acknowledged in statue
and is part of a range of measures in place to ensure that s106 public bodies do
not over-commit themselves financially. 
9.2 The current IJB reserves position for 2024/25 after adjustments for the drawdown
of in-year reserves, is a revised balance of £70.089m and is summarised in the
table below:
