The report before Members identified that the overall oneSource shared outturn position shows an overspend of £0.432m. This is projected to be split between the three authorities as part of the year-end cost share calculation as follows; £0.223m Newham, Havering £0.138m and £0.071m Bexley.

The oneSource non-shared budgets are forecasting overspends of £0.172m for Newham, £0.177m for Havering and an underspend of (£0.144m) for Bexley.

Management action is underway to attempt to reduce the forecasted overspends by year-end.

Members were keen to understand in more detail the management action which would reduce the forecast overspend. It was agreed that Members would receive a breakdown of the actions and the savings achieved as they were progressed.

The Joint Committee noted the oneSource forecast outturn position as at August 2019 and reserve position and outlined planned spend.
