Issue - meetings

That the Improvement Plan 2016/17 outturn report be received.

The Chief Executive introduced the update report to consider progress towards the delivery of the impacts set out in the 2016/17 Improvement Plan, focussing on the areas of under-performance relevant to the Committee at year end.

The Corporate Business & Communications Executive Officer reported good progress on actions and performance against targets, with explanation given on the only red area on percentage of employee turnover.  The majority of identified risks were moderate or minor, and the only red risk area was on the scale of the financial challenge.

Councillor Richard Jones raised an issue on consistency of outcome ratings when comparing two actions.  It was explained that the first action involved the newly introduced Contract Procedure Rules on which community benefits would be achieved over the longer term.  Although progress had been made on the Armed Forces Covenant, outcomes had not yet achieved 100% at this stage.  Councillor Jones also pointed out that the Public Space Protection Order (PSPO) in Buckley had not been recognised within that Key Performance Indicator.  On a request for commentary on the percentage of employee turnover, a brief update was given and would be further explained in the next Workforce Information update.  On the percentage of high-risk repeat victims of domestic abuse referred to the Flintshire Multi-Agency Risk Assessment Conference (MARAC), officers would establish whether the target of 28 was set locally or nationally as this was higher than the previous year.

RESOLVED:

That the Improvement Plan 2016/17 outturn report be received.
