Freedom Of Information, Wandsworth Borough Council

Request for Information - 2015/11853 - Local Authority Spending

 

I refer to your request for information received on 17/09/2015.  Please
see the information below in response to your request: -

 

                Please provide the following information:

§  Total local authority spend in the financial year 2014-15

Total spend across the Council in 2014/15, including all services (both
revenue and capital, including schools and housing), was £1.194bn.

 

§  Total local authority financial reserves at the end of financial year
2014-15

Under Section 21 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000, the Council is
under no obligation to provide a copy of the requested information if that
information is reasonably accessible to the applicant by other means. 

The reserves information requested is in the draft accounts on the website
via the link given below:-

§  Total spend on adult social care in the financial year 2014-15

Total gross expenditure on adult social care and health in 2014/15 was
£122.161m.

 

§  Anticipated reduction in local authority budget in 2015-16, 2016-17 and
2017-18

The Council’s Medium Term Financial Strategy identifies the need to reduce
on-going spend in the General Fund by £0 in 2015/16,

£32.311m by 2016/17 and £54.013m by 2017/18.

 

§  Anticipated reduction in adult social care in 2015-16, 2016-17 and
2017-18

All Council services are subject to constant review in order to reduce
costs, and it is not possible at this stage to quantify how much of

these reductions will fall under the adult social care remit in future
years.  Adult social care expenditure in 2014/15 accounted for over

half of total net General Fund revenue spend, with a significant amount of
this spent on delivering statutory functions.

 

I hope this information meets your needs. If you do not understand the
information provided or wish to discuss anything further, please feel free
to contact me and I, or another member of the team, will be able to assist
