To consider a report of the Head of Policy and Performance.

The Committee considered a report of the Head of Policy and Performance containing an overview of the 2009-2010 quarter 3 performance, which summarised performance against all National Indicators and key corporate performance measures.

Overall, the Council gathered information for 212 measures (National Indicators, or part indicators and corporate local indicators) of those:

• 102 (48%) were green
• 68 (32%) were amber
• 42 (20%) were red

Fourth Quarter performance data would be produced after 31 March 2010 for consideration and review by Overview and Scrutiny committees. An annual report summarising the Council’s achievements would be brought to the Committee before publication in June 2010.

The Head of Policy and Performance informed the Committee that in March 2010, the Cabinet would be considering a Single Equality Scheme and action plan which would be offered to the Committee for comment.

The Chairman informed Members that due to the proximity of the March meetings of Cabinet and this Committee, it may be necessary to deal with the formal consultation at a mid point meeting.

In view of the increasing importance of the performance monitoring information being presented to Committees, Members requested that a dedicated training session be arranged on Performance monitoring.

RESOLVED – (a)     That the report be received

(b)    That arrangements be made for the Committee to be consulted on the Single Equality Scheme, prior to the Cabinet Meeting on 16 March 2010, if necessary, at a mid point meeting.

(c)     That the Senior Scrutiny Officer be requested to make arrangements for a training session for all Members on performance monitoring.
