Background:

This report provided details of a request for a debt of £32,335.49 in relation to adult social care to be written off, as it had been deemed irrecoverable by officers.

The report stated the amount of debt to be written off exceeded officers’ delegated authority, therefore, Cabinet approval was required.

Reasons:

It was considered that all practical steps had been taken to recover the debt and pursuing the debt was deemed impractical. Writing off this debt was important in ensuring the Council’s accounts are maintained.
