To enable Members to fulfil their scrutiny role in relation to performance monitoring.

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

The Chief Officer (Social Services) introduced the regular 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 the end of year.

The Chief Officer advised that the report was a positive repot with 100% of agreed actions being assessed as making good progress and 82% likely to achieve the desired outcome.  In addition 66% of the performance indicators met or exceeded target for the year.  Risks were being successfully managed with the majority being assessed as moderate or minor.

The Chief Officer reported on the main considerations, as detailed in the report, and referred to the monitoring of activities, performance and risks.  He also reported on progress against the risks identified in the Plan which were detailed in the appendix to the report. 

Councillor Dave Mackie complimented the Chief Officer and his team on the format and detail of the report which he said was informative and helpful.  He referred to the performance indicator on the number of care homes which were a ‘Service  of Concern’ and pointed out that the target was incorrect.  Officers agreed that this figure would be corrected.

RESOLVED:

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