decision
The Cabinet reaffirmed its previous decision
of an immediate freeze on all posts, other than those posts for
which job offers have already been made, with the exceptions
detailed below. It was also agreed that a report be submitted to
Cabinet in the New Year giving details of the vacant frozen posts
and the process by which exceptions will be judged and brought
forward to Cabinet for consideration. SEE DECISION NO. 366/2002 IN
RECORD OF DECISIONS BELOW FOR LIST OF EXCEPTIONS
The freeze on posts would enable the Cabinet
to continue to ensure effective budgetary control within the
approved limits set by Council and the exemptions to this freeze,
detailed above, would enable continuity for front line services.
The further report in the New Year would provide further
information on vacant frozen posts, addressing the issues raised by
overview and scrutiny.
