Councillor Ann McLachlan introduced a report by the Director of Public Health and Head of Policy and Performance that updated the Cabinet on the current performance of the Council against the delivery of the Corporate Plan (as at 30 November 2014).  The report translated the priorities set out in the Corporate Plan into a coherent and measurable set of performance outcome measures and targets.  Members were requested to consider the details of the report and highlight any issues. 

The Corporate Plan Performance Report (Appendix 1 to the report) set out performance against 20 outcome measures.  Of these there were 2 measures where the outcome metric was under design or due to report at the end of the year.  A commentary was provided against those.

Of the 20 measures that were RAG rated, 16 were rated green, 1 was rated amber and 3 were rated red.  The 3 measures rated red had action plans (included as Appendices 2, 3 and 4) which referred to:

·  NHS Health Checks – Take up

·  Rate of Children in Need (per 10,000 population 0-17)

·  Performance appraisals completed.

Councillor Ann McLachlan reported that the information contained in the report was a little retrospective but the majority of outcome measures were on target with the exception of the three listed above for which there was an exception report in each case.  She was confident that the issues could be addressed/resolved and that there would be improvements.  The Future Council initiative had impacted on the completion of the Performance Appraisals, it was unlikely this would be achieved but Officers were committed to improving this target in the next Municipal Year.

RESOLVED:

That the content of the Corporate Plan Performance Management Report be noted. 

Councillor Stuart Whittingham left the meeting.
