To give consideration to an overview of 2009/10 Q3 performance and the progress made on the Local Area Agreement

The Committee received an overview of the 2009/10 Q3 performance for indicators falling within its remit and for the LAA, which summarised performance against all National Indictors and key performance measures.

The report detailed the 19 national indicators for the Committees area of responsibility, 58% were green, 11% were amber and 32% red.

The report also detailed 35 national indicators and 10 non designated indicators in the LAA, a number of indicators had two parts and data had been collected for 41 measures. Overall 46% were green, 12% were amber and 10% were red.

With regard to the LAA refresh, it was noted that the due to the economic downturn, the Government had agreed to adjust NI154 – Net additional homes provided and NI155 - Number of affordable houses delivered.

With regard to NI018, the Committee felt that it did not fully understand this target and therefore the Probation Service should be requested to attend a future meeting of the Committee to explain the target in detail.

It was noted that due to the different data reporting systems used by all partners, some of the indicators were lagging and that there was a proposal for a common data base to be used by all partners.

It was agreed that the prime cause of underperforming indicators needed to be investigated and that some underperforming indicators had a knock on effect on other indicators. Councillor D Flude and J Grant agreed to meet to put together a breakdown of those indicators affected and discuss a resolution to this problem.

RESOLVED

1. That the report be noted.

2. That Councillor D Flude and J Grant meet to discuss the cause and effect of underperforming indicators.

That a representative of the Probation Service be requested to attend a future meeting of the Committee to discuss NI018
