The Strategic Director – Transformation and Resources introduced his summary report on the Council’s Quarter 3 (October to December) performance against the delivery of the 2015/16 Corporate Plan (as approved by the Council at its meeting on 8 December 2014).  A detailed report was attached to the Director's report as Appendix 1 and detailed progress against a suite of agreed performance indicators.  The performance indicators related to a range of pledges under the three Wirral Plan themes of People, Business and Environment. 

Members were informed that of the 21 reportable indicators, using a RAG (Red, Amber, Green) rating – assigned depending on the performance level against the target - 15 were rated Green, 3 were rated Amber and 3 were rated Red.

A briefing note was circulated that provided information on the background to, and take-up of, the NHS Health checks programme (Red indicator PHCP03). Members were informed that the mandatory programme was currently delivered through 50 Wirral GP practices and that lead commissioning responsibility had changed from the CCG to the Council in 2013. The briefing note informed that performance across targets in Wirral, along with most other areas (across England) was falling consistently below the target uptake of 66%.

Annual uptake for the previous two years were reported as follows:

The briefing concluded that GP practices were still in the best position to deliver all that the programme required, and that once results had been collated for Q4, it was proposed that discussion regarding options for the future delivery of the programme be undertaken with other Wirral commissioners.

Members noted that significant discussion had recently taken place regarding the two remaining ‘Red’ report indicators i.e. Performance Appraisals (TRCP03) and Sickness Absence (TRCP04) and that the earlier reporting had informed all staff members should receive their performance appraisal on the in line with the anniversary of their last. Further corrective actions for all Red or Amber indicators were listed in Appendix 1 to the report.

Resolved:

That the contents of the report be noted.
