[To approve the amendment to the 2017/18 Budget in light of the Spring Budget announced on 8 March 2017.]

1. That adjustments to the gross expenditure and income budgets to reflect the additional Adult Social Care funding in 2017/18 of £6.402 million be approved.

Councillor Andrew Johnson sought approval to adjust the gross expenditure and income budgets to reflect additional Adult Social Care funding. The Chancellor had announced the new grants in the Spring Budget, the allocation for 2017/18 for the City of Wolverhampton Council was £6.402 million. The additional funding was welcome and a report would be presented to Cabinet at a later date to outline the planned use of the grant to ensure that the short term funding is used in a managed way, to create a longer term sustainable Adult Social Care budget.

Resolved:

1. That adjustments to the gross expenditure and income budgets to reflect the additional Adult Social Care funding in 2017/18 of £6.402 million be approved.
