Agenda item

The meeting received a report providing an update on performance and progress against the priorities in the 2016-20 Health and Wellbeing Strategy.  The report provided a performance data summary for each priority, identifying areas for improvement and areas of strength.  The report identified those activities that were supporting the progress against those priorities, together with those areas where further enquiries were required.

Board members welcomed the progress in developing the performance dashboard but commented on the need for further work to give a sense of how much impact the various actions and activity would have in addressing areas of poor performance and over what timescale.  This would help the Board identify those actions that merited further investigation or the realignment of collective effort.  Board members also commented on the need to be clear which individual/agency was accountable for delivering the various actions and activity and what contribution other agencies could have to increase the impact.  For this purpose, some clarity about the baseline or comparator for the measure was required. 

RESOLVED:-

(i)        that the performance report and action plan updates be noted; and

(ii)       that SSDG be requested to give consideration to the issues raised in the report and to identify how these will be reflected in the activity and approach that each agency is progressing to address the concerns and aspirations of local people
