Decision:

RESOLVED:

 

1.    That the council’s refreshed transformation programme be agreed.

 

2.    That the investment required to deliver improved outcomes and financial benefits through transformation will be considered as part of the Medium Term Financial Strategy (MTFS) report to Cabinet (28/01/20) and Council (04/02/20) be noted. 

 

Reason for decision:

 

The transformation programme, stretching across all aspects of the council’s work, will help to ensure we are enabling better lives and a better place, improving the quality of residents’ lives and reducing the inequality in life expectancy that exists across the county. It will enable the council to respond proactively and effectively to the complex and rapidly changing context we are working in. The programme will also make a significant contribution to achieving the financial sustainability required so that the council can deliver priorities for residents within available resources.

Minutes:

The Leader introduced a report that set out the reshaped set of transformation portfolios and programmes that will be delivered to achieve the council’s strategic ambitions and priorities for residents.  Over the last year the council had made good progress to deliver far reaching and ambitious transformation across a wide range of services.  He highlighted the eight core themes guiding the strategic priorities and welcomed scrutiny of these areas over the coming year.

Further to Minute 215/19 (Surrey Schools & Early Years Funding 2020-21) the Cabinet Member for All-Age Learning reported that the Secretary of State had rejected the Council’s request to transfer budget into the High Needs Block.

 

The Leader went on to say that there were to be 11 public meetings across the county to engage with the public on transformation plans.  Dates and venues would be published shortly.
