Further Detail
Appendix A provides the detailed finance report.
Revenue
Q1 forecast is break even. Costs are overall higher than budgeted, offset by additional Scottish Government funding for drug driving outsourcing.
Capital
Capital spend year to date is in line with budget, however, the Q1 forecast is a £0.3m (16%) underspend.
This forecast underspend is driven by slippage in projects and spend that is no longer required.
Reform
Overall £0.4m forecast under budget. The service is also exploring seeking external support for the COS project which may reduce this forecast underspend.
