Under reference to item 7 of the Minute of the meeting of this Joint Board held on 16 September 2016 the Chief Officer submitted a report relative to the IJB’s first performance report for 2016/17, covering the period April to September 2016. Appendix 1 to the report provided an indication of progress against the nine national outcomes; Appendix 2 provided a full scorecard updating all performance measures; and Appendix 3 gave detailed information in relation to two exception reports.
The report advised that 88 performance indicators were grouped under the nine national outcomes of which 54 had targets set against them. Of the 54 indicators against which targets had been set, 16 displayed a variance from target of more than 10%, 10 were within a 10% variance of target and 28 were on or above target.
John Legg referred to the number of children highlighted in the report who had been impacted by delays from assessment to appointment in terms of paediatric Speech and Language Therapy. He proposed that an update report be submitted to a future meeting of the IJB. This was agreed unanimously.
DECIDED:
(a) That the mid-year update to 30 September 2016 on the 2016/17 performance, as detailed in the scorecard presented in Appendix 2 to the report, be noted;
(b) That it be noted that the indicators in the scorecard were reported at a number of frequencies, that the information may not always be available at the end of the reporting period and that the data provided in the report was the most up-to-date information available; and
(c) That an update report be submitted to a future meeting relative to progress on addressing the waiting times for paediatric Speech and Language Therapy.
