The Cabinet Member for Governance and Improvement introduced a report by the Director of Public Health / Head of Policy and Performance which outlined the current performance of the Council (as at 31 August 2013) against the delivery of the Corporate Plan for 2013/14.

The report translated the priorities set out in the Corporate Plan into a coherent and measurable set of performance outcome measures and targets. These were used to evaluate the achievement of strategic priorities over the next year of the plan.

Attached to the Director’s report was the following documentation:

Appendix 1 - Corporate Plan Performance Report as at 31 August 2013.

Appendix 2 - Local environmental quality (LEQ) of litter, detritus and dog fouling in main gateways and shopping areas target and establishment reduction compared to savings assumption.

Appendix 3 - Establishment reduction compared to savings assumption.

Appendix 4 - Permanent admissions of older people (aged over 65 and over) to residential and nursing care homes, per 100,000 population.

Councillor McLachlan drew the Cabinet’s attention to the three ‘exception’ reports (appendices 2, 3 and 4) and the action being taken in respect of each. All Members had the opportunity to review these, as all ‘exception’ reports were taken to the Policy and Performance Committees. Councillor Chris Jones elaborated upon the action being taken in respect of the Adult Social Care target.

The Leader of the Council welcomed the report and the fact that 17 targets were green rated, with one on amber.

RESOLVED:

That the information and the relevant exception/delivery plans set out in the report be noted.
