Issue - meetings

Cabinet AGREED to:

(a)               Confirm the importance of trying to achieve performance indicator targets and milestone dates in relation to the areas identified in paragraphs 7 to 20 of the report; and

(b)               Review action at each portfolio holder meeting on the performance indicators and milestones listed in paragraph 27 of the report to ensure that 2006/07 targets are achieved whenever possible.

Cabinet received the six-month performance report, which focussed on areas where performance risked not meeting targets.  Individual portfolio holders would be reviewing specific areas of concern and the actions undertaken to achieve the targets would be the subject of a future report.  The Chief Executive clarified that “critical delays” referred to areas where failure to achieve the targets would have a major impact on the organisation.  Cabinet acknowledged that performance against some targets was driven by factors beyond the authority’s control.
