Following consideration of the officer report, appendices and discussion, the Executive resolved to review the performance information provided within Appendix A, and in particular the narrative relating to performance this quarter.

The Leader of the Council, Cllr Bill Revans, invited the Lead Member for Finance, Procurement and Performance, Cllr Liz Leyshon, to introduce the report.

Cllr Leyshon explained: that these were interim measures that went under each of the Council’s four priorities; the ongoing work to align the measures with budget monitoring and strategic risk management; the potential to introduce ‘wild card’ measures; that members are encouraged to bring forward areas of particular interest; the improvements expected as information is transferred to the software Ideagen.

The Leader of the Council, Cllr Bill Revans, invited comments from Committee Members and other Members present. Questions and points raised included: consistency and variation in the tolerances for the RAG rating; what are the targets based on; the issue of Overdue Care Act Assessments and the progress on addressing this; whether all targets are categorised appropriately; why some areas are still awaiting targets and tolerances; the issue of lack of compliance with electrical safety standards and the action plan to address this; other possible performance measures that could be included such as school suspensions.

The Leader of the Council concluded the discussion and proceeded to a vote on the recommendations, which were agreed unanimously.
