The Committee considered a report that sought approval for a Sundry Debt write-off in the sum of £10,913.44.

The Group Head Commissioning and Transformation advised that since these debts had occurred an updated Corporate Debt Policy had been implemented and the Debt Recovery Team’s resources had been strengthened. Processes had now been put in place to monitor individual debts to ensure that they did not increase.

The Chair asked for details of the processes followed and which debts ran the risk of not being recoverable, to be sent to all Committee members.

The Committee requested details of available debt recovery measures and when they would be used.
