ENVIRONMENT
SCRUTINY COMMITTEE –
17 SEPTEMBER 2003
OXFORDSHIRE
PLAN : A PRIORITY FRAMEWORK FOR 2004/05 ONWARDS
Explanatory
Note by Director for Resources
Scrutiny
will input into the development of the priorities for 2004/05 in two stages.
The first phase will be during the September round of Scrutiny meetings
and the second phase will be during the November and December round of
meetings.
(Initial Evaluation of Priority Framework (download
as .doc file)).
The
first stage in developing the priority framework for 2004/05 onwards has
been the undertaking of Initial Evaluations by the relevant services.
These evaluations set out to answer a number of questions about the priority
area from a service perspective. These include:
- whether or not
the priority can be delivered
- the key activities
that need to be undertaken to achieve the priority
- current performance
- future targets
- resource implications
and
- risks
Scrutiny
will, during the September round of meetings, carry out an assessment
of the Initial Evaluations undertaken by services. It is suggested that
they pay particular attention to asking:
- whether the identified
activities are in line with the priority
- whether there
are other relevant activities which should be included (particularly
ones outside the remit of the relevant Head of Service)
- how realistic
future targets are, highlighting any concerns
- whether the targets
identified will deliver the priority
Resulting
from the above analysis Scrutiny should make recommendations, highlight
concerns, raise any questions and make any requests for clarification.
The committee should, wherever possible, agree on these as a whole. Once
agreed, the comments of the committee will be compiled into a brief report.
This report will be considered by the Executive along with the relevant
initial evaluation.
