To consider the quarter 4 performance report.

1.      That the continuing overall strong performance in Quarter 4  for the indicators being used to help support monitoring of progress against the Medium Term Plan priorities be acknowledged.

2.      That officers further investigate resolve underperforming indicators as appropriate.

The Executive considered a report from the Deputy Leader and Executive Member for Corporate Resources that set out the Quarter 4 2012/13 performance.  The report focused on the indicators that supported the monitoring of progress against the priorities in the Medium Term Plan.

Members noted that quarter four continued to show good performance across the priorities.  There were 2 red indicators, one being the number of clients receiving self directed support  but this had shown an improved performance with the Council exceeding the national target.  The other red indicator had shown a decline in the number of people in employment between the ages of 16 to 64. 

Reason for decision:  To ensure a rigorous approach to performance management across Central Bedfordshire Council.

RESOLVED

1.      that the continuing overall strong performance in Quarter 4  for the indicators being used to help support monitoring of progress against the Medium Term Plan priorities be acknowledged; and

2.      that officers further investigate resolve underperforming indicators as appropriate.
