Minutes:
The Board gave consideration to a report providing an overview of the Health and Social Care partnership’s Covid-19 mobilisation costs and its future cost planning for living and operating with Covid-19. The report provided a snapshot of the financial estimates of the costs of dealing with the Covid-19 response. The cost estimates, which were updated on a regular basis were subject to considerable uncertainties.

1.
Noted
the details provided in relation to Covid-19 response and associated
mobilisation plan costing for 2020-21 and subsequent years.
2.
Acknowledged
the uncertainties in the cost elements submitted and around Covid-19 recovery
funding in the future.
3.
Noted
that the Scottish Government has in principle approved all mobilisation plans,
but that approval for individual cost lines has not yet been received.
4.
Noted
that any excess funding received must be carried forward as an earmarked
reserve at the year end to be used against Covid
costs next year.
