Purpose of the Report

That the agreed targets to be used from Quarter One of 2021/22 be noted.

Alternative Options Considered and Rejected

None.

Reasons for Decision

Performance targets were reviewed annually to reflect changes in the market place, as well as current outturn achievements. 

In 2020/21 targets across many measures had been significantly affected by changes owing to the Covid-19 pandemic.  The impact of the pandemic would be likely to affect some measures and therefore the review of targets for 2020/21 had been approached as a ‘light touch’, focusing on those measures and targets where there had been significant change. The report set out the proposed changes to measures and targets for the year 2021/22.

Appendix A detailed the measures selected for monitoring performance against the targets, which had been proposed by Assistant Directors, in consultation with their service managers and confirmed by Directors and Portfolio Holders.

It was noted that the report had been considered by the Performance Scrutiny Committee at its meeting on 22 June 2021.  The Committee had requested that in future, any changes in measures were rationalised within the report.  This request was supported by the Executive.
