Decision details

CAB 06/18 

Mid-Year Performance Analysis 2017/18

Options Considered/Reasons for Decision

The Chair of Cabinet presented the update on the Council’s performance at the mid-year point.

The report included monthly, quarterly and half yearly data as at 30 September 2017.  There were 127 measures being collected in 2017/18, and these included national measures as well as improvement plan and locally set measures.

Overall performance showed that

·         68.29% of service plan measures, where data was available, were meeting or exceeding their targets. 

·         73% of the improvement plan measures were meeting or exceeding target, which was an improvement on quarter 1 performance.

·         53.57% of national measures had shown improved performance since the year end data from April 2017. 

The Leader highlighted that this report presented a snapshot of performance, demonstrating excellent progress against a challenging background of cuts to council budgets, ambitious targets, and new measures brought about by changes to national reporting requirements.  It was also noted that the performance figures only told one side of the performance story, with the authority receiving consistently positive feedback from regulators, and low levels of complaints.

Decision:

1.    To note the contents of the report.

2.    To receive a further update on the year-end position once the data is available.

3.    To take urgent action in conjunction with Heads of Service and Directors to address areas of poor performance.
