Rationale for decision

Overall review of hours allocated to each location in line with National benchmark performance measure and by not filling current vacancies held as part of current year budget controls.

The aims and objectives will be to maximise the efficiency of the service through service redesign without impacting significantly on services delivered to customers and the community. The service has a high turnover of staff and the proposed savings it is expected can be managed within existing vacancies and changes to advertised posts without reducing specific staff hours.
