Mark Smith, Strategic Commissioner, Environment, introduced a report which described performance at Quarter 3 (October to December 2016). A list of key performance highlights was provided in the report.

The Chair commented on the need for the Pledge Sponsors to give some narrative when indicators were ‘red’ and ‘amber’ as well as those that were ‘green’.

Responding to a comment from a Member on the performance indicators, Mr Smith indicated that officers were aiming to be as transparent as possible and that in relation to the indicators relating to admission episodes for alcohol related conditions and smoking prevalence in adults in Wirral, this had been raised with the Director of Public Health who had indicated that two new strategies would be developed with the view of talking these to Overview and Scrutiny People Committee for pre-decision scrutiny and Cabinet in May 2017 for a decision.

In relation to the operational details of the Kingdom enforcement officers, Mr Smith agreed to feedback to Members with further details. 

RESOLVED:

That the report be noted.
