That the Committee support the new approach to performance reporting.

The Performance Team Leader presented a report to provide an update on the streamlined and corporate approach to performance reporting that was being introduced.  She explained that the new arrangements had been introduced following the adoption of the Improvement Plan for 2013/14 to which it was intended the new three year Outcome Agreement would be aligned.  Reporting and monitoring arrangements were shown in the report including a mapping document which detailed the sub-priorities to be reported to each of the Overview & Scrutiny Committees.

In response to a question from Councillor W.P. Shotton on flexibility of the Outcome Agreement, it was confirmed that the process would be re-negotiated year on year to take account of changes in Priorities.

Councillor A.I. Dunbar referred to the Accountability Mapping and said that sub-Priorities such as Business Sector Growth in Deeside and Town & Rural Regeneration could be viewed as priorities in their own right.  The Performance Team Leader confirmed that the new approach to reporting would help to ensure that those sub-priorities which had an ‘in-year’ focus would be reported quarterly for greater concentration on their delivery.

RESOLVED:

That the Committee support the new approach to performance reporting.
