6.2 Subject to IJB approval, in-year underspends will be allocated to manage, on a
non-recurring basis, ring-fenced commitments, additional commitments relating to
the Strategic Commissioning Plan and any funding gap which is highlighted in the
North Lanarkshire IJB Medium-Term Financial Plan 2023-2026.

the table below:

Main Factors
Employee
Costs 
10.439  As highlighted through 2022/2023, there are ongoing challenges
in terms of recruitment and retention issues 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.  During this financial year, various planning groups will
work to address and provide solutions to help mitigate
shortages in line with staffing availability. 
Payments
to Other
Bodies
(PTOB)
(1.930)  There are two main areas of overspend within PTOB which are
independent care homes and self-directed support (SDS) costs. 
 The independent care homes have a yearly budget of
1,361 care plans but at present the number of projected
care plans is 1,440 resulting in a projected overspend of
£1.014m.   
 SDS is similarly overspent due to a budget of 2,312 care
plans against 2,860 estimated care plans for 23/24.  This
increase in demand was forecast and reported in the
Medium-Term Financial Plan.   
As per the IJB strategy to address the demand pressures
within the plan, a drawdown of £3m from the social care
demand reserve is being used to offset the current
projection reducing the overspend to £1.356m.

Current projections do not take account of any slippage
to start dates or cancelled packages which will reduce
costs further as the year progresses. 
Additional work is underway within the service and the
finance team to further analyse this projection. 
Prescribing  (5.399)  This overspend is attributable to the number of medicines being
prescribed and dispensed in community pharmacies resulting in
an increase in costs.  The current projection is based on April
data and 2022/2023 trends due to the 2-month time lag in
receiving current data.  Additional information on the on-going
prescribing saving plan is at para 7.
North
Lanarkshire
Hosted
Services
(0.428) The two main areas of overspends within North Lanarkshire
hosted services, relate to continence service and children
services.
 Continence Service overspend is due to an increase in
costs relating to continence products. 
 Children Services overspend relates to diabetic
equipment including diabetic glucose monitoring
machines and insulin pumps.   
6.4  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 allocations received from Scottish
Government:

7.1 Within 2023/2024 prescribing budget, a savings target of £2.7m has been set by
NHS Lanarkshire to help reduce the continuing increasing overspend.   
7.2 A wide range of work has commenced from March to ensure the balance of the
savings target is achieved, ranging from reducing waste and inefficiencies and
changing prescribing practices and culture.  The impact of this work has recorded
savings at the end of June totalling £0.239m and if this continues the forecast
annual savings expected by March 2024 is £1.170m. 
7.3 Work on savings programmes for Scriptswitch and medicine reviews continues
from last financial year along with a wide variety of other work which has
commenced from March 2023.  Allowing a period of time for communication and
implementation of changes to practice and efficiency programmes to embed, the
impact of this work is expected to achieve the required savings target by March
2024.   
7.4 The table below shows the volatility in cost per item within prescribing.  As at April
2023, average cost per item was £10.23 compared to April 2022 when the
average cost was £9.38:

7.6 It should however be noted that due to the volatility within this area and the time
lag in receiving up to date information from the recording system, the current
projection is likely to change month on month.  Additional monitoring is in place
with the data being analysed by a dedicated working group and regular updates on
progress will be reported to the IJB throughout the year. 
8. GENERAL RESERVES
8.1 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. 
8.2 The current IJB reserves position for 2023/2024 after adjustment for the drawdown
of reserves, is a revised balance of £84.211m and is summarised in the table

8.3 The IJB risk-based and contingency reserves currently equate to 2.6% of the
financial envelope.  Appendix 5 shows a detailed list of all reserve movement
during 2023/24. 
8.4 Regular updates will be provided to the IJB throughout 2023/24 as analysis and
reviews of all reserves are monitored to ensure they continue to meet on-going
pressures and remain fit for purpose.   
9. CURRENT VACANCY POSITION
9.1 As highlighted throughout this report, employee costs are projecting a significant
underspend within all services.  Recruitment continues to be progressed for
vacant posts in all areas.   
9.2 The table below shows the current full time equivalent (FTE) vacancy numbers
within each service against their budgeted establishment: 
9.3 To help cover the vacant posts, agency staff, bankaide, overtime and excess part
time hours are used, the cost of which is included within the financial position
reported.  A detailed analysis of these costs is at appendix 6.
