The Director of Corporate Services submitted a report (Paper J206) outlining the final recommended basket of key performance indicators for 2010/11 which had been agreed following discussions with the Chairmen of the two Overview and Scrutiny Committees.
Jonathan Seed, Senior Policy and Performance Officer presented the report and answered Members’ questions on it.
During the ensuing discussion it was noted that although only ten indicators had been selected for the 2010/11 KPI basket, as outlined in paragraph 5.3 of Paper J206, any other indicators performing higher or lower than the agreed threshold would be reported as exceptions to the Overview and Scrutiny (Stewardship) Committee and subsequently referred to this Committee for detailed scrutiny if necessary.
It was noted that Paper J206 was also considered by the Overview and Scrutiny (Stewardship) Committee at its meeting on 23 March 2010.
RESOLVED
That the recommended basket of Key Performance Indicators (KPI’s) for the 2010/11 financial year listed in Appendix A to Paper J206 be approved.
RECOMMENDED TO STRATEGY COMMITTEE
That the proposed targets in Appendix B to Paper J206 be agreed and included in a report from the Overview and Scrutiny (Stewardship) Committee to Strategy Committee for approval.
The Director of Corporate Services submitted a report (Paper J209) advising that, in accordance with the Constitution, the Committee must report annually to Council on its work during the previous year and make recommendations for future work programmes and, if appropriate, amended working methods.
During the course of the discussion Members commented that they had found it useful when representatives of outside organisations had been invited to address the Committee.
It was agreed that a report should be submitted to this Committee on the work of the Suffolk County Health Overview and Scrutiny Committee. Officers would determine the format and timing for this.
The draft Work Plan for 2010/11 attached as Appendix 2 to Paper J209 was approved.
