Issue - meetings

The Committee had before it a report by Alison MacLeod (Lead Strategy and Performance Manager, ACHSCP) which advised the Committee of a recent review of

performance indicators undertaken by the Lead Strategy and Performance Manager and sought approval of the proposed new set of strategic performance indicators contained in Appendix D.

The report recommended:-

That the Committee –

(a)          Approve the proposed new set of strategic performance indicators

contained in Appendix D;

(b)       Approve the frequency and route of reporting these; and

(c)        Approve that these are used as the basis of our Annual Report

format for 2018/19.

Alison MacLeod proposed that a streamlined set of both local and national strategic performance indictors be reported to Committee and the IJB on a quarterly basis. She recommended that performance be reported by exception, with a focus on indicators which demonstrated both good and under-performance; as well as areas where significant improvement or deterioration in performance had been recorded. Ms MacLeod explained that a new set of strategic performance indicators may be developed following the ongoing review of the Strategic Plan.

Thereafter there were questions and comments on (1) the format of reports when reporting by exception; and (2) Members agreed that it would be a worthwhile exercise to test the new strategic performance indicators.

The Committee resolved:-

(i)           to approve the proposed new set of strategic performance indicators

contained in Appendix D;

(ii)          to agree to report these strategic performance indicators to Committee and the IJB on a quarterly basis and to request that exception reports be prepared to focus on (1) indicators where good performance had been recorded; (2) indictors where an improvement in performance was required; and (3) indicators where significant improvement or deterioration in performance had been recorded, regardless of performance against target;

(iii)         to note that these strategic performance indicators would continue to be reviewed during the wider review of the three year Strategic Plan; and

(iv)         to note that following the review of the Strategic Plan, it was the Partnership’s intention to use the strategic performance indicators as the basis of next year’s Annual Report.
