2 Minutes of Previous Meeting 
The minutes of the meeting of the Financial Resources Scrutiny Forum held on 29 September
2022 were submitted for approval as a correct record. 
The Forum decided: that the minutes be approved as a correct record. 
3a Capital Budget Monitoring 2022/2023 – General Fund Capital Programme 
A report dated 25 October 2022 by the Executive Director (Finance and Corporate Resources)
was submitted on the position of the General Fund Capital Programme 2022/2023 for the period
1 April to 7 October 2022. 
The revised General Fund Capital Programme for 2022/2023 totalled £95.880 million, as
detailed in Appendix B to the report.  This included adjustments to the programme agreed by the
Executive Committee on 2 November 2022, totalling a net decrease of £1.177 million, as
detailed in Appendix A to the report. 
The main reason for the reduction was profiling adjustments proposed by Community and
Enterprise Resources following a review of the anticipated timing of spend on both the Rural
Business Centre, Lanark and the Vacant and Derelict and funded allotment project at Cuningar
Loop.

Page 4

As previously reported, the programme also included allocations for 3 significant projects where
the level of spend in year had still to be confirmed.  Those projects and their budgets were Clyde
Bridge (£6.5 million), Larkhall Leisure Centre (£9.550 million) and Levelling Up fund match
funding (£1.8 million).  It was unlikely that those funds would be spent within this financial year. 
An update would be provided to the Executive Committee on 30 November 2022, when the
outcome of the tender exercise for Clyde Bridge would be known. 
The programme spend and funding for the General Fund was summarised in Appendix D of the
report. 
Budget for the period was £25.402 million and spend to 7 October 2022 was £24.901million, an
underspend of £0.501 million.  This underspend mainly related to timing of spend within the
Schools Information Communication Technology project within Education Resources.  Actual
funding received at 7 October was £60.924 million. 
The physical progress achieved with the General Fund Capital Programme 2022/2023 at 7
October 2022 was detailed in appendices E to G to the report. 
The Forum decided: that the position on the General Fund Capital Programme
as at 7 October 2022 be noted. 
[Reference: Minutes of 29 September 2022 (Paragraph 3a) and Minutes of the Executive
Committee of 2 November 2022 (Paragraph 4)] 
3b Capital Budget Monitoring 2022/2023 – Housing Capital Programme 
A report dated 25 October 2022 by the Executive Director (Finance and Corporate Resources)
was submitted on the position of the Housing Capital Programme 2022/2023 for the period 1
April to 7 October 2022 (Period 7). 
The revised Housing Capital Programme for 2022/2023 totalled £66.361 million.  Budget for the
period was £25.539 million and spend to 7 October 2022 was £25.496 million, which
represented an underspend of £0.043 million, as detailed in Appendix A to the report.  Actual
funding received at 7 October was £25.496 million. 
The physical progress achieved with the Housing Capital Programme 2022/2023 at 7 October
2022 was detailed in Appendix B to the report. 
The Council continued to experience material shortages, longer lead times and extraordinary
inflationary price increases and it was anticipated that this would continue to impact the supply
chain for the foreseeable future.  The impact of this would continue to be monitored and updates
provided to this Forum. 
Any significant increases in contract values for the Housing Capital Programme would be
brought to members’ attention. 
The Forum decided: that the position on the Housing Capital Programme as at 7
October be noted.

4 Revenue Budget Monitoring – 2022/2023 
A report dated 2 November by the Executive Director (Finance and Corporate Resources) was
submitted on the overall financial position of the Council’s General Fund Revenue Account and
Housing Revenue Account for the period 1 April to 7 October 2022. 
As at 7 October 2022, the position on the General Fund Revenue Account was a net overspend
of £0.027 million.  This overspend was mainly within Community and Enterprise Resources
relating to the cost pressures associated with Electric Vehicle (EV) charging and within Social
Work Resources (Children and Families). 
The overspend position within Social Work Resources (Children and Families) was offset by an
underspend in Performance and Support and an underspend in the Adults and Older People
Service as a result of vacancies across Social Workers, day care and residential homes.  This
formed part of the delegated Health and Social Care Partnership (HSCP).  The core Council
position, without the HSCP underspend, was an overspend of £0.675 million. 
Included with the overall position at this point in the year, was an underspend in employee costs
of £2.890 million which reflected the impact of difficulties in recruiting staff across a number of
areas, including Community and Enterprise Resources (facilities drivers, mechanics,
Environmental Health Officers, Planning Officers, parking and roads operatives) and Social
Work/Care roles.  This was an increase of £0.853 million from Period 5. 
As noted previously, the Council had put in place new recruitment and development routes to
address the recruitment challenge, however, until all posts were recruited, the level of
underspend was likely to increase. It was anticipated that, by the end of the financial year, the
net available underspend in Employee Costs would be £0.500 million to £0.600 million. 
The position across Resource employee costs, including the potential additional cost of the
Wellbeing Day as part of the New Deal for Employees agreed by the Executive Committee on
21 September 2022, would continue to be monitored. 
The Housing Revenue Account showed a breakeven position at 7 October 2022, as detailed in
Appendix 2 to the report. 
The Forum decided: 
(1) that the overspend of £0.027 million on the General Fund Revenue Account at 7 October
2022, within Community and Enterprise Resources and Social Work Resources (Children
and Families), and partially offset by the underspend on the Adults and Older People
budget delegated to the Health and Social Care Partnership, as detailed in section 4 and
Appendix 1 of the report, be noted; and 
(2) that the breakeven position on the Housing Revenue Account at 7 October 2022, as
detailed in section 5 and Appendix 2 of the report, be noted. 
[Reference: Minutes of 29 September 2022 (Paragraph 4) and Minutes of the Executive
Committee of 21 September 2022 (Paragraph 10)] 
5 Revenue Budget Monitoring 2022/2023 – Detailed Resource Analysis 
A report dated 2 November 2022 by the Executive Director (Finance and Corporate Resources)
was submitted comparing actual expenditure against budgeted expenditure for the period 1 April
to 7 October 2022 (Period 7).

Account across subjective headings and across Services as at 7 October 2022
 a line by line trend analysis of the total Resources’ expenditure and income across

Report
Agenda Item 
Report to: Financial Resources Scrutiny Forum
Date of Meeting: 8 December 2022
Report by: Executive Director (Finance and Corporate Resources)  
Subject: Capital Budget Monitoring 2022/2023 - General Fund
Capital Programme 
1. Purpose of Report
1.1. The purpose of the report is to:
[purpose]
i update members of the Financial Resources Scrutiny Forum of progress on the
Council’s General Fund Capital Programme for the period covering 1 April 2022
to 4 November 2022. 
[1purpose]
2. Recommendation(s)
2.1. The Forum is asked to approve the following recommendation:
[recs]
(1) that the physical and financial progress of the 2022/2023 General Fund
Capital Programme be noted. 
[1recs]
3. Background
3.1. The Capital reports attached provide detail on the position as at 4 November 2022
from both a financial and physical perspective.   
3.2. Appendices A to D show the financial position of the General Fund Capital
Programme, with the physical progress detailed in Appendices E to G – as they are
split into Build, Non Build and Roads. 
4. General Fund Capital Programme 2022/2023
4.1. 2022/23 Budget:  The revised Capital Programme for 2022/2023 totals £78.272
million as shown in Appendix B. The revised programme includes adjustments to the
programme totalling a net reduction of £17.608 million.  These adjustments were
agreed by the Executive Committee on 30 November 2022.   
4.2. £1.408 million of the £17.608 million is profiling adjustments proposed in Appendix A.  
Education Resources have advised that a review of the anticipated timing of spend
on the Clyde Terrace Nursery project in Bothwell (£1.040m) has been necessary,
and operational delays on-site due to utility issues has meant financial slippage into
2023/2024.   
4.3. In addition, the distribution of the new Free School Meals Expansion funding for
2022/2023 has only recently been announced by the Scottish Government, with the
Council awarded £1.877 million.  Education Resources estimate that they will spend
£0.300 million of this allocation by the end of the financial year, given the design
requirements and lead in times for equipment, but aim to maximise spend wherever
possible.  Again, this will mean slippage into 2023/2024 (£1.577 million).   
3a

Page 8

4.4. The remainder of the reduction of £17.608 million (section 4.2) relates to the
2022/2023 allocations for 3 significant projects (Clyde Bridge £6.5m, Larkhall Leisure
Centre £9.550m and Levelling Up Fund Match Funding £1.8m). As reported
previously, the level of spend in year had still to be confirmed.   
4.5. The tender for Clyde Bridge has been awarded and the financial profile adjusted to
remove £5.4 million from the 2022/2023 budget.  In relation to the other 2 projects,
given the uncertainty around the level and timing of spend on these projects, budget
totalling £10.8 million has been removed from the 2022/2023 programme.  This can
be added back into the programme when there is more certainty around the timing of
the spend.  The movement for each of these projects is detailed below: 
x Clyde Bridge (reduce 2022/2023 budget by £5.4m) – The tender award for this
project has now been accepted.  An estimate of spend for this year has been
made, and the revised 2022/23 budget reflects the potential revised delivery
schedule for the new bridge.   
x Larkhall Leisure Centre (reduce 2022/2023 budget by £9m) – Current
timescales for this project suggest the majority of spend will commence in
financial year 2023/2024.  The Council’s 2022/2023 Place Based Investment
Fund programme has allocated £0.550 million to the new Larkhall Leisure Centre
and this requires to be spent / committed this financial year.  This £0.550 million
will be retained in the budget for spend on the project team and initial
groundworks in 2022/2023.   
x Levelling Up Fund (reduce 2022/2023 budget by £1.8m) – Any LUF awarded
in financial year 2022/2023 will require to be spent in year with the Council’s
match funding being required later in the spend profile.  The Council’s match
funding of £1.8 million can be slipped into a future year when it will be required. 
4.6. The programme spend for the General Fund is summarised in Appendix B with a full
breakdown of expenditure across Services included in Appendix C.  Total funding of
£78.272 million is available in year, as shown in Appendix D. 
4.7. General Capital Grant: As part of the funding for the Pay Award for 2022/2023, the
Scottish Government have agreed to allocate £120 million nationally per annum (for
both 2022/23 and 2023/24) to cover part of the additional costs.  For South
Lanarkshire Council, this is an allocation of £7.077 million and unusually will be paid
as part of our General Capital Grant allocation.  COSLA and the Scottish
Government have been in discussion with councils as to how they can convert this
General Capital Grant to pay for Revenue expenditure. 
4.8. A review of the Council’s Capital funding package has identified funding that could
be transferred to the Council’s Revenue Account and used to fund the pay
award.  These funds will be replaced by General Capital Grant.   The funding
package included in Appendix D has been updated to reflect the revised funding
package.     
4.9. Period 8 Position:  The programme spend and funding for the General Fund is
summarised in Appendix D.  As noted in 4.1, the total capital spending programme
for the year is £78.272 million. 
4.10. Budget for the period is £28.936 million and spend to 4 November 2022 is £29.530
million, an overspend of £0.594 million.

Page 9

4.11. Actual funding received to 4 November 2022 is £59.741 million. 
4.12. Relevant officers will continue to closely monitor the generation of all income
including receipts. 
5. Employee Implications
5.1. There are no employee implications as a result of this report. 
6. Financial Implications
6.1. The financial implications are included in section 4 of this report. 
7. Climate Change, Sustainability and Environmental Implications
7.1. There are no implications for climate change, sustainability or the environment in
terms of the information contained in this report. 
8. Other Implications
8.1. The main risk associated with the Council’s Capital Programme is an overspend. 
There are detailed project management plans prepared and the risk of overspend on
each project is monitored through four weekly investment management meetings. 
8.2. The Council continues to experience material shortages, longer lead times and
extraordinary inflationary price increases and it is anticipated that this will continue to
impact the supply chain for the foreseeable future.  The impact of this will continue to
be monitored through the four weekly investment management meetings.  Further
updates will be reported in the coming months with any significant increases in
contract values being brought to members’ attention.   
9. Equality Impact Assessment and Consultation Arrangements
9.1. This report does not introduce a new policy, function or strategy or recommend a
change to existing policy, function or strategy and therefore no impact assessment is
required. 
9.2. There was also no requirement to undertake any consultation in terms of the
information contained in this report.

Programme 
1. Purpose of Report
1.1. The purpose of the report is to:
[purpose]
i update members of the Financial Resources Scrutiny Forum of progress on the

noted. 
[1recs]
3. Background
3.1. The Capital reports attached provide detail on the position as at 4 November 2022 from
both a financial and physical perspective.   
3.2. Appendix A shows the financial position of the Housing Capital Programme, with the
physical progress detailed in Appendix B. 
4. 2022/2023 Housing Capital Programme 
4.1. 2022/2023 Budget:  The revised Housing Capital Programme for the year is £66.361
million reflecting changes to the programme approved by the Executive Committee on
24 August 2022.  There have been no further changes to the budget since this meeting.   
4.2. Programmed funding for the year also totals £66.361 million.  The budget, along with a
detailed breakdown of the funding sources is included in Appendix A to this report. 
4.3. Period 8 Position:  Budget for the period is £30.739 million and spend to 4 November
2022 amounts to £30.783 million (as shown in Appendix A), a slight overspend of

Page 30

7. Climate Change, Sustainability and Environmental Implications
7.1. There are no implications for climate change, sustainability or the environment in terms
of the information contained in this report. 
8. Other Implications
8.1. The main risk associated with the Council’s Capital Programme is an overspend.  There

monitored through the four weekly investment management meetings.  Further updates
will be reported in the coming months with any significant increases in contract values
being brought to members’ attention.   
9. Equality Impact Assessment and Consultation Arrangements
9.1. This report does not introduce a new policy, function or strategy or recommend a
change to existing policy, function or strategy and therefore no impact assessment is
required. 
9.2. There was also no requirement to undertake any consultation in terms of the information
contained in this report.

Report
Agenda Item 
Report to: Financial Resources Scrutiny Forum
Date of Meeting: 8 December 2022
Report by: Executive Director (Finance and Corporate Resources)  
Subject: Revenue Budget Monitoring 2022/2023 
1. Purpose of Report
1.1. The purpose of the report is to:-
[purpose]
i advise the Forum on the overall financial position of the Council’s General Fund
Revenue Account and Housing Revenue Account for the period 1 April 2022 to
4 November 2022.
[1purpose]
2. Recommendation(s)
2.1. The Forum is asked to note the following recommendation(s):-
[recs], for G
(1) that the overspend of £0.039 million on the General Fund Revenue Account at
4 November 2022, being an overspend within Community and Enterprise and
Social Work (Children and Families) which is partially offset by the underspend
on the Adults and Older People budget delegated to the Health and Social Care
Partnership (section 4 and Appendix 1), be noted; and
(2) that the breakeven position on the Housing Revenue Account at 4 November
2022 (section 5 and Appendix 2 of the report), be noted. 
3. Background
3.1. The Revenue reports attached provide detail on the most recent report considered at
the Executive Committee on 30 November 2022. 
3.2. General Fund Position
This overview report will summarise the actual expenditure and income to 4
November 2022 compared with the budget for the same period for both the Council’s
General Fund (section 4) and for the Housing Revenue Account (section 5). 
4. 2022/2023 General Services Position  
4.1. Summary position: General Services Current Position as at 4 November 2022 
As at 4 November 2022, the position on the General Services budget is a net
overspend of £0.039 million (Appendix 1), made up of variances across the
Resources. 
4.2. Community and Enterprise Resources are reporting an overspend position (£0.056
million) which reflects the cost pressures that they are experiencing across the
Services including the costs of Electric Vehicle (EV) charging. Within Social Work
Resources, Children and Families are reporting an overspend position of £1.229
million which is offset by an underspend in Performance and Support (£0.328
million), an underspend in Justice and Substance Misuse (£0.133 million) and an
underspend in Adults and Older People (£0.768 million) as a result of vacancies
4

Page 36

across Social Workers, Day Care and Residential homes. The Adults and Older
People budget is part of the delegated Health and Social Care Partnership (HSCP)
budget.  The core Council position, without the HSCP underspend, is an overspend
of £0.807 million. 
4.3. Inflationary / Budget Pressures 
4.3.1. Two budget pressures have been identified and these are detailed below. 
4.3.2. Education – Transport:  While the Resource are currently showing a breakeven
position, the outcome of contract renewals with Strathclyde Passenger Transport
(SPT) means that there has been a significant increase in spend on school
transport.  The impact of this is a year-on-year increase in spend meaning an
overspend of £2.236 million.  The Resource managed an overspend of £0.695
million in 2021/2022, and it is anticipated that the same would be the case this year,
leaving a residual budget shortfall in SPT Transport of £1.541 million.  This will be
considered alongside the overall Resource position at the Probable Outturn exercise.   
4.3.3. Social Work – Children and Families:  There continues to be financial pressures
within the Children and Families’ budget, with spend on external placements being
the main reason for the continued increase in spend.  As detailed in section 4.2, this
is being offset within the overall Social Work Resources’ position by an underspend
within Adults and Older People, a service devolved to the HSCP.  Work is ongoing
with the Services to establish funding solutions for the residual overspend.  In
2021/2022 some core Adult and Older People budget underspend was retained by
the Council to help cover the Children and Families’ budget pressure, and the same
approach has been proposed to the HSCP for 2022/2023. 
4.3.4. The situation will continue to be monitored and any further updates brought to future
meetings of the Executive Committee, as required. 
4.4. Areas of Underspend 
4.4.1. Employee costs: As previously reported, included within the overall position already
at this point in the year there is an underspend in employee costs (£2.682 million)
which reflects the impact of difficulties in recruiting staff across a number of areas. 
4.4.2. Whilst significant efforts are being made to recruit, the current level of underspend in
Employee Costs by the end of the financial year is expected to run to between
£0.500 million and £0.600 million. This will continue to be monitored and any
updated brought to future meetings.  The period 8 position is a reduction of £0.165
million from period 7 with the reduction reflecting the transfer of unused budget to
Corporate Items, to be held to fund the costs of the Wellbeing Day as required.   
4.4.3. Adults and Older People:  As previously reported, there are likely to be further
underspends in relation to specific funding streams in Adults and Older People,
where spend has not yet commenced or is not fully committed predominantly related
to the recruitment challenges.  Finance Services are currently in discussion with the
Chief Financial Officer from the HSCP and await confirmation on the anticipated
position.  This outcome will be reported in the regular monitoring reports to the
Corporate Management Team and Committee.  As detailed in section 4.3.3, the
Council has proposed to the HSCP that this underspend be used to assist in
managing the pressures within Children and Families. 
4.5. Scottish Government Funding of 2022/2023 Pay Award
4.5.1. As part of the funding for the Pay Award for 2022/2023, the Scottish Government
have agreed to allocate £120 million nationally per annum (for both 2022/2023 and

Page 37

2023/2024) to cover part of the additional costs.  For South Lanarkshire Council, this
is an allocation of £7.077 million and unusually will be paid as part of our General
Capital Grant allocation.  COSLA and the Scottish Government have been in
discussion with councils as to how they can convert this General Capital Grant to pay
for Revenue expenditure. 
4.5.2. A review of the Council’s Capital funding package has identified funding that could
be transferred to the Council’s Revenue Account and used to fund the pay
award.  These funds will then be replaced by the additional General Capital
Grant.  The Corporate Items Budget has been updated to reflect both the
expenditure and funding budgets in respect of this and once the pay award is paid,
budget will be allocated to Resources. 
4.6. Investments – 2022/2023
4.6.1. An exercise has been undertaken to establish the current commitments and spend
profile of the 2021/2022 and 2022/2023 investment funding which will incur spend
across a number of financial years.  As part of this exercise an uncommitted element
has been identified which has been agreed can be used to manage the costs of the
Warm Welcome Initiative.  As a result, the budgets in Appendix 1 have been re-
aligned and only £1.090 million requires to be carried forward in relation to the
2022/2023 investments compared to the £1.700 million previously reported. 
5. Housing Revenue Account Position
5.1. As at 4 November 2022, Appendix 2 of the report shows a breakeven position
against the phased budget on the Housing Revenue Account. Levels of rent
collection are regularly monitored by the Housing Services team and appropriate
corrective action will be taken, as required. 
6. Employee Implications
6.1. None. 
7. Financial Implications
7.1. As detailed in sections 4 and 5 of the report. 
8. Climate Change, Sustainability and Environmental Implications
8.1. There are no implications for climate change, sustainability or the environment in
terms of the information contained in this report. 
9. Other Implications
9.1. The main risk associated with the Council’s Revenue Budget is that there is an
overspend. As detailed in section 4, inflationary and budget pressures this year
increase the risk of overspend however we have mitigated this going forwards
through providing additional funds in future years budget strategy, and through the
one-off use of reserves in the current year.  There are also emerging underspends in
employee costs (as detailed in section 4.3). 
9.2. We will also continue to monitor the actual impact through four weekly Budget
Monitoring Meetings at which any variance is analysed. In addition, the probable
outturn exercise ensures early warning for corrective action to be taken where
appropriate. 
10. Equality Impact Assessment and Consultation Arrangements
10.1. This report does not introduce a new policy, function or strategy or recommend a
change to an existing policy, function or strategy and therefore no impact
assessment is required.

Page 44

6. Climate Change, Sustainability and Environmental Implications
6.1. There are no implications for climate change, sustainability or the environment in
terms of the information contained in this report.   
7. Other Implications
7.1. The main risk associated with the Council’s Revenue Budget is that there is an
overspend.  The risk has been assessed as low given the detailed budget
management applied across the Resources.  The risk is managed through four
weekly Budget Monitoring Meetings at which any variance is analysed. In addition,
the probable outturn exercise ensures early warning for corrective action to be taken
where appropriate. 
8. Equality Impact Assessment and Consultation Arrangements
8.1. This report does not introduce a new policy, function or strategy or recommend a
change to an existing policy, function or strategy and therefore no impact
assessment is required.   
8.2. There is also no requirement to undertake any consultation in terms of the
information contained in this report.
