Report by Assistant Chief Finance Officer (Assurance) (CA11).

This report demonstrates the state of Oxfordshire County Council’s (OCC’s) business as regards progress towards Corporate Plan priorities at the end of Quarter 1 2018-19. This is the first report using the new OCC Corporate Plan and Outcomes Framework, and the first to focus fully on the high priority outcomes rather than the underlying measures.

Cabinet is RECOMMENDED to note the report.

Noted.

Cabinet considered a report that demonstrated the state of Oxfordshire County Council’s (OCC’s) business as regards progress towards Corporate Plan priorities at the end of Quarter 1 2018-19. This was the first report using the new OCC Corporate Plan and Outcomes Framework, and the first to focus fully on the high priority outcomes rather than the underlying measures.

Councillor Heathcoat, Deputy Leader of the Council Performance commented that improvement/deterioration since the last quarter of 2017-18 could not easily be assessed at the outcome level as the 13 outcomes were newly created. However, the indicators beneath the outcomes offered continuity and showed performance improvementin household waste, delayed transfers of care and the numbers of children’s social care assessments. There were also a majority of green indicators across the whole report. The direction of travel was positive. Future reports would link into the transformation programme.

RESOLVED:-           to note the report.
