p51.1 The Fire Authority received a report setting out the findings of month 4 monitoring undertaken on the Revenue and Capital Budget 2026/27 and Capital Programme 2026/27 to 2030/31. The report presented a broadly positive position for the Fire Authority. A net revenue underspend of £560,000 had been identified due to a range of underspends, set out in full in the report, this was offset by a number of pressures. The Revenue and Capital Programme risks were detailed in the report and focused on areas subject to further investigation, the outcome of which could result in significant additional pressures in future financial years, these included pay awards, ill health retirement and injury awards, delivery of the Estates Capital Programme and the impact of increased operational activity.
p102.2 The SBSA had agreed the transfer should be delivered on a “no detriment" basis, with no reduction in current service provision and continued delivery of each Service’s Community Risk Management Plans (CRMP). The budget setting process would focus on maintaining service delivery and achieving long-term financial sustainability, while ensuring future cost pressures, savings requirements and investment proposals were appropriately reviewed and approved. 2.3
