Report by County Council Management Team (CA14).

Quarterly Performance Monitoring report.

The Cabinet is RECOMMENDED to note the report.

The Cabinet considered a report (CA15) which sought agreement to the proposed renewal of the current S75 NHS Act 2006 pooled budget agreement and lead commissioning with Oxfordshire Primary Care Trust from April 2012 – March 2013 for the two pooled arrangements for older people and people with physical disabilities and people with a learning disability.

Councillor Jean Fooks, Shadow Cabinet Member for the Deputy Leader referred to those areas of the report where, she considered, items were not  on track, or there was no evidence yet available, in particular ‘tackling transportation priorities’, ‘breaking the cycle of deprivation’ and ‘Environment and Climate Change’. Under ‘Closer to Communities’, she drew attention to the lack of progress in the eight non-priority areas despite the target date of June 2011.  She suggested that the report would benefit from specific recommendations where a target had not been achieved.

In relation to ‘breaking the cycle of deprivation’ targets, The Cabinet Member for Children, Education & Families referred Councillor Fooks to page 177 of the report and the NEETS targets which had been met and had seen a consistent improvement since September last year.  She further referred to the success of reducing teenage pregnancies in Oxfordshire.

The Deputy Leader reminded Councillor Fooks that all the targets had associated action plans.

RESOLVED: to note the report.
