The Leader of the Council, Councillor Damian White introduced the Quarter 2 Corporate Performance Report to Cabinet.  The report was summarised by Sandy Hamberger, Interim Assistant Director of Policy, Performance and Community.

It was noted that for Quarter 2, of those Performance Indicators that had been rag rated, 24 (74%) have a green “on track” status, 3, 5% have an amber status and 6, 17% have a red “off track” status.  The proportions of indicators that are green have improved for the second successive quarter.

It was considered good practice for the report to come to Cabinet on a quarterly basis even though the performance indicators for each directorate were taken to the Overview and Scrutiny Sub Committee meetings.  It ensures transparency and allows Cabinet to have an overview on how things are going.  Scrutiny however, is a different function and takes place within the various Scrutiny Committees in work plans and meetings. This process allows for a public and more specific analysis of performance.  Each Overview and Scrutiny Sub Committee should be actively involved in thorough examination of the indicators and Chairs of the various Committees will be encouraged to do this through the Committee work plans.
