A report from Fay Hammond, Executive Director - Resources is attached.  (Non Key)     

                                                                                    (Report No:  171)

Councillor Ian Barnes (Deputy Leader of the Council) introduced the report of the Executive Director – Resources (No.171) presenting the quarterly corporate performance report.

NOTED

1.            That Appendix 1 to the report showed the quarter two performance for 2019/20 and compared it to the Council’s performance across the previous four quarters for a series of key performance indicators. The officers involved were thanked for their work in collating and presenting the information before Members.

2.            That amendments had been made to the quarterly performance report following feedback from Members and from the Overview and Scrutiny Committee, as explained in the report (section 3.3 of the report referred).

3.            That Appendix 2 to the report focused on a selection of priority key performance indicators that were underperforming, as detailed in section 3 of the report and outlined at the meeting. The detailed action plans and progress being made were highlighted to Members.

4.            The detailed performance information set out in the report (section 4 referred) and the appendices to the report. Specific examples included with the report were highlighted and discussed by Members. In particular, the improvements which had been made in Adult Social Care, as detailed in Appendix 1 were noted and praised; Enfield was a top performer. Members expressed their thanks and appreciation to the frontline social care staff who worked tirelessly all year, including the holiday periods, for vulnerable service users. Council worked closely with colleagues from the local hospitals to support vulnerable adults leaving hospital and to provide support to enable them to return to their own homes wherever possible. The range of service provision was outlined to Members.

Alternative Options Considered: Not to report regularly on the Council’s performance in a public report. This would make it difficult to assess progress made on achieving the Council’s main priorities and to demonstrate the value for money being provided by council services.  

DECISION: The Cabinet agreed to note, for information only, the progress being made towards achieving the identified key priorities for Enfield.

Reason: To update Cabinet on the progress made against all key performance indicators for the Council.
