Decision details

The Mayor and Executive Member for Adult Social Care and Public Health submitted a report for Executive’s consideration.

The Council’s Scheme of Delegation gives the Executive collective responsibility for corporate strategic performance, together with associated action.

The report provided the necessary information to enable the Executive to discharge its performance management responsibilities, setting out progress against Executive approved actions, delivery of the Strategic Plan and other key associated items, together with actions to be taken to address any issued identified.

The projected financial outturn at the end of Quarter Three 2023/2024 was presented separately to this meeting of the Executive, and so not repeated here. Where performance had a significant impact on finances, this was highlighted within the body of the report.

As part of continuous improvement in performance and risk management, the Council’s Leadership Management Team (LMT) had implemented monthly reviews of corporate performance utilising a Directorate Performance dashboard, drawing data from a range of performance systems.

The Council’s overall performance at the end of Quarter Three saw a slight dip from the position reported at Quarter Two, with progress towards expected performance standards, as set out in the Council’s risk appetite, achieved in two of the four active performance disciplines in 2023/24.

ORDERED that Executive:

1.    Approves the proposed amendments to Executive actions at Quarter Three 2023/24 detailed in Appendix.

2.    Notes progress of delivery of the Strategic Plan 2022-24 at Quarter Three 2023/24, detailed in Appendix 2.

3.    Approves the proposed amendments to Strategic Plan workplan at Quarter Three 2023/24, detailed in Appendix 3.
