Report of the Assistant Director – Adult Services

The Assistant Director – Adults Services submitted a report (previously circulated) to provide Members with performance data against Key Performance Indicators for 2019/20 at Quarter 4.

The submitted report outlined performance information in line with an indicator set and Scrutiny Committee distribution agreed by the Monitoring and Coordination Group on 4 June 2018, and subsequently agreed by Scrutiny Committee Chairs.

The submitted report stated that the indicators were aligned with key priorities and the majority are used to monitor the Corporate Plan. It was stated that other indicators may be referenced when appropriate in narrative provided by the relevant Assistant Directors, when providing the Committee with performance updates. Twelve indicators were reported to this Committee, ten on a six monthly basis and two annually.

It was reported that of the ten indicators reported at six months, six of the indicators showed performance better than at this time last year, one indicator showed performance was not as good as at this time last year, yet was still continuing to be monitored and managed, and that three indicators were not comparable, as were reviewed at a point in time.

Members entered into discussion on the report, noting that demand for services had fallen during the Covid pandemic and the increased number of Safeguarding Strategy meetings as a result of greater reporting and awareness. Concerns were expressed about the potential for ‘long Covid’ in individuals in the 20s and 30s.

RESOLVED – That the performance information provided within the submitted report be noted.
