The Executive Lead for Finance and the Executive Head for Business Services presented the budget proposals for the business unit to the Board.

The board questioned whether Business Services would still be able to manage expectations as a result of the budget reductions in this area, and as a result the loss of staff.

The Board were advised that there could be some loss of service and that it would be up to the managers within the business unit to mitigate this.

The Board were advised that a recent restructure has taken place within the business unit which will result in a multi skilled team.

The Board were advised that a work programme will be prepared to ensure that the workload is structured within the new teams.

The Board were advised that the Business unit will still have the capacity to deal with ad-hoc requests.
