Petty Cash is used in circumstances where the normal procurement facilities are not appropriate. This is typically because the items required are minor and (perhaps) there is some degree of urgency involved.
A decision to apply for a float should not result from a one-off circumstance. To qualify for a float, anticipated payments must be both regular and frequent. This is especially a requirement on the Hollins Park site where the ad hoc requirements of a ward or department could quite easily be accommodated via the main cash float held in the General Office.
