Issue - decisions

That a change to the financial reference period for Care Dorset to operate an April to March fiscal year from 1 April 2026, be approved.

This change means there will be an 18 month financial year from 1 October 2024 to 31 March 2026.

Reason for decision

This change is recommended in order to bring Care Dorset in line with Dorset Council’s financial reference period and avoid complication with Care Dorset operating over two financial years with Dorset Council.
