Report of the Secondary.

The Sub Committee received an update report of the Secondary on the Central Criminal Court’s Business Plan 2013. The Secondary highlighted the fact that the Court had been busier than usual recently due to some high profile trials involving multiple defendants, and that this was forecast to continue into 2014. He noted also that the Court had received positive publicity through Stephen Fry’s Keys to the City television programme.

In terms of financial management he noted that service reviews of both Security and Cleaning had been completed and accepted by Her Majesty’s Courts and Tribunal Service (HMCTS), and furthermore that a three-year catering contract had been awarded to Aramark and had been ‘live’ since 2 September 2013, and was working well thus far.

He highlighted the fact that several staff had been given Learning & Development awards recently.

Finally he concluded by informing the Sub Committee that, budget-wise, the City Fund budget was on target whilst City Cash had a small underspend.
