Decision:
(a) That the Committee is assured of the level of progress made during 2014/15 in the achievement of the single Integrated Plan priorities; and
(b) That the Committee supports the future requirements of the Well-being of Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015 and the preparation being undertaken.
Minutes:
The Chief Executive introduced an update on the performance of each of the strategic partnerships and the end of year assessments for the progress of the Local Service Board (LSB) priorities. The three current LSB priorities had a good sub-structure in place and reported overall good progress against milestones, activities and confidence in achieving outcomes. There were concerns about financial support for the requirements of the Well-being of Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015, on which guidance was awaited, however governance arrangements were not expected to change.
Amongst the achievements, the Policy & Performance Manager highlighted a significant reduction in the percentage of Jobseeker Allowance claims by 18-24 year olds. She also advised that the various workstreams under the ‘People enjoy good health, wellbeing and independence’ priority would be monitored by the Social & Health Care Overview & Scrutiny Committee.
Following comments from Councillor Robin Guest, the Chief Executive explained that one body would continue to be responsible for the delivery of outcomes for community safety however there was still a statutory duty to report on performance and strategic delivery at the LSB.
On the appendix to the end of year report, Councillor Richard Jones pointed out that reference to Flying Start had been removed from the published version of the Improvement Plan. The Policy & Performance Manager referred to the list of amendments to the Improvement Plan later on the agenda and agreed to look into this query and respond separately to the Committee.
RESOLVED:
(a) That the Committee is assured of the level of progress made during 2014/15 in the achievement of the single Integrated Plan priorities; and
(b) That the Committee supports the future requirements of the Well-being of Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015 and the preparation being undertaken.
