continues throughout the financial year.

6.2 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. 
6.3  Removing this from the current projected outturn gives a revised year to date
underspend and projected outturn for 2023/24 of £1.961m and £3.640m
respectively.

6.4 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 has been
highlighted in the North Lanarkshire IJB Medium-Term Financial Plan 2023-2026. 
6.5 A summary of the current financial challenges and key pressures are highlighted in
the table below: 
Area
Projected
Outturn
under/(over)
£m 
Main Factors
Employee
Costs
11.774 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 sectors.  Work is underway to scrutinise all vacant posts which have been
challenging to recruit to, with a view to realign, and create posts for current
service need and workforce availability. 
This projected underspend is currently offsetting the projected overspends
below.
Payments to
Other
Bodies
(PTOB)
(0.849) 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 to fund 1,361 care plans
but at present the number of projected care plans is 1,466 resulting in a
projected overspend of £0.323m. 
 SDS is similarly overspent due to a budget to fund 2,617 care plans against
3,068 estimated care plans for 23/24.  This increase was forecast and
reported in the Medium-Term Financial Plan. 
In line with the IJB strategy to address the demand pressures within the plan, a
drawdown of £3.682m from the social care demand reserve is being used to
offset the current projection reducing the overspend to £1.356m.  Additional work
is also underway including investment in a review team to work across home
support and SDS.

Prescribing (4.680) The current projection is attributable to the continued increase in costs
associated with the number of medicines being prescribed.  This projection is
based on April data and 2022/23 trends as no current prescribing data is
available due to an ongoing problem related to a recent system upgrade.  The
supplier has informed boards this situation is likely to continue for the next
couple of months making current projections extremely difficult to profile.   
Similar to the increase in SDS demand, the prescribing increase was in part
forecast and reported in the Medium-Term Financial Plan and therefore a
drawdown of £3.835m from the prescribing reserve is being used to offset the
current overspend. 
North
Lanarkshire
Hosted
Services
(2.071) The three main areas of overspend within North Lanarkshire hosted services,
relate to continence service, children services and prisoner healthcare: 
 Continence Service overspend is due to an increase in costs relating to
continence products. 
 Children Services overspend relates to health and safety requirements and
diabetic equipment including diabetic glucose monitoring machines and
insulin pumps. 
 Prisoner Healthcare overspend is due to the increase in drug charges similar
to the increase seen in prescribing. 
6.6 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:

7. SAVINGS
7.1 Within 2023/24 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 to
changing prescribing practices and culture.  The impact of this work has recorded
savings at the end of September totalling £0.669m and if this continues the
forecast annual savings expected by March 2024 is £1.590m. 
7.3  The table below shows the volatility in cost per item within prescribing as at May
2023, average cost per item was £10.43 compared to April 2022 when the
average cost was £9.38: 
7.4 The following two tables give additional information on the cost of prescribing from
April 2022 to May 2023 and number of items dispended for the same period.

7.5 It should be noted that due to the volatility within this area and the time lag in
receiving up to date information from the recording systems, 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 The current IJB reserves position for 2023/24 after adjustment for the drawdown of
reserves, is a revised balance of £70.631m and is summarised in the table below:
