How the budget is spent

In 2009/10 increased spending on services above the level of inflation is being financed from efficiency improvements, from savings within service budgets, or on a non-recurring basis from reserves or improved council tax collection performance. The County Council is investing an additional £6.7 million primarily to meet increased demand for social care, and an additional £2.4 million on children’s services.
