Service Redesign (Nov - Dec 2018)
In recognition of the need to find nearly £10m of savings over the next four years the Comhairle agreed a service redesign programme as part of its 2018/19 Budget in February 2018.
Between March and September the Comhairle worked to develop a Transformation Model (3.6MB) and options that were considered and approved by the Comhairle in October 2018 alongside budget updates considered by the Comhairle in May, June and October 2018.
The agreed model is based on the opportunity for community partnerships and income generation to maximise the benefit of Comhairle resources. It includes the development of charters for the delivery of services, particularly across public agencies.
The next stage of the process is a series of community conversations, based around a Discussion Document (859.5kB), to be held across the islands in November and December 2018, which will form the basis for proposals to the Comhairle in December 2018. (Discussion Document (469.5kB) also available in word format.)
