Resources
Identify (i) any significant adjustments to your resources
resources required to enable you to meet your current objectives & improve results (ii) cuts that could be made with least damage to your objectives, noting the related impact on results, if it were necessary to reduce your local budget (excluding DTE) by 5%. Indicate priority order, staffing changes and financial years for implementation.
1. The objectives are manageable within resources currently allocated except for number 5
The cost of this is unknown and will depend upon whether Britain is able to arrange a
'friendship' deal with the H K Government over sale of a site. However, we should, if possible, allocate £2m in the capital programme for fitting-out, furniture and equipme
2. A 5% reduction in costs (£37,000) could best be made either:
2.1 by reducing the time spent by the ELO on outreach work (largely in abeyance since September 1989) but 35% in the DTFR giving a possible saving of £38,000 OR
2.2
2.3
by administering operational funds less intensively, e.g. giving funds to institutions rather than individuals (cut planned Grade III post, £9,200) some reductions in operational funds (£27,800)
