The Cabinet Member for Governance and Improvement introduced a report by the Director of Public Health/Head of Policy and Performance which proposed a series of high level outcomes that provided a framework for the Improvement Board to assess the impact of Wirral’s Improvement Programme. 

The proposed approach was to focus on the following three success measures:

·  An effective planning and delivery of the efficiencies.

·  Demonstrating that 2013/14 savings targets efficiencies were being delivered well, on time and to budget.

·  Demonstrating there was a plan for future efficiencies for the next three years.

·  Demonstrating Corporate Health.

·  An effective assurance framework.

The Cabinet Member for Governance and Improvement informed that the Improvement Board had requested a report on how the Council’s corporate health and financial stability was being met and it was being presented to the Board at its meeting next week.

(1)  the outcome measures set out in section three of the report be agreed;
