Issue - meetings

The Board considered the Well-Being Scorecard, which provided an overview of performance against Local Area Agreement (LAA) targets within the Board’s responsibility and Area Based Grant (ABG) funded projects, during the Fourth Quarter of 2008/09.

It was noted that a considerable amount of work had been undertaken between the Council and NHS Haringey to improve the quality of information included within the Scorecard. There was agreement that there should be discussion outside the meeting between NHS Haringey and the Council to determine whether the IT system used by the Council to monitor performance could be shared.

The Chair noted that there needed to be a stronger focus on exception reporting with a covering report and narrative provided. This should also set out the measures being taken to address areas where performance was below target. Where there were long term performance issues an update should be provided rather than a detailed account of the action being taken.  

There was agreement that where targets were measured an on annual basis proxies should be formed so that the Board would be provide with a better picture of performance throughout the year.

RESOLVED:

1. That the report be noted.

2. That future reports should include a covering report including a narrative and setting out the remedial actions being taken to address areas of underperformance.

3. That proxy targets should be formed and reported on at the next meeting where targets were measured annually.
