The document sets out only those targets in our Local Area Agreement that are part of the annual ‘refresh’ process. Those not in the ‘refresh’ remain as they were set last year when the LAA was first negotiated.

 

As of Thursday 12 March 2009 negotiations on

·        NI 32 Repeat incidents of Domestic Violence are ongoing

·        NI 70 Hospital admissions caused by deliberate or unintentional injuries to children and young people and NI 120 all-age, all-cause mortality targets are continuing

 

Targets highlighted in orange in the table are those where negotiations are still continuing.

 

The table is based on the LAA document that will be submitted to government but also includes;

·        Details of why the target has been renegotiated

·        A description of what the indicator means including what good performance is

 

The document remains in draft form as the presentation of targets negotiated is confirmed with the Government Office.
