Forensic Services Committee - 7 May 2024

Date : 07 May 2024

Location : Online


Budget

The approved budget of £44 million for revenue and £1 million for capital for 2024/25 allows Forensic Services to consolidate our investment in our New Operating Model – which is predominately an investment in our people. This budget for the coming year now gives us the stability to continue to support this investment throughout the year.

As during the past financial year, we will only move ahead with changes when it is prudent and financially sustainable to do so. This approach is reflected in the finance report for Period 11 (Performance Report 3.4) which predicts a £0.8 million revenue underspend for the current year.
