  • p248The value of debt aged over 5 months at Q4 has increased by £5.108m to £14.463m compared to the 2024/25 outturn position of £9.355m.
  • p249The majority £13.529m (93.54%) of all debt over 5 months old relates to Adult Social Care and Health (ASCH), which has increased by £4.593m compared with the 2024/25 outturn position of £8.936m. A significant factor contributing to this increase is over £3m of income due where Discretionary or Non-Discretionary Funding was being provided and has ended during the current financial year. While the local authority was providing funding, this could not be recovered due to the absence of a legally authorised individual to settle the charges. Following the appointment of a deputy or attorney, or after the individual has sadly passed away recovery is now being pursued. Often the amounts due are high value as they relate to charges for residential or nursing care. Additionally, £1.367m of the increase relates to income due from the NHS.
