Savings and efficiencies of £19.5 million which could include reducing accommodation costs are needed.
Response to supplementary question (PQ19), 8/12/2023 full Council meeting:
'Between April and September 2023, the allowance was paid to 32 Agency workers with a total cost of £126,864, as part of the terms and conditions of their contract. This represents accommodation costs for agency social workers in the Children & Young People Directorate as part of measures to respond to recruitment challenges. Payments in respect of accommodation costs are not made to permanent workers as part of their everyday role.'
Please confirm whether or not any accommodation costs other than the above-mentioned £126,864 were paid to anyone between April and September 2023 who was engaged by Herefordshire Council whatever their employment status (for example, worker, employed, self-employed,) or contract type (for example, permanent, non-permanent, temporary, interim).
