IMPROVEMENT PLAN 2009/10 (CX) (SCRUTINY - ALL) -
Cabinet received the draft Improvement Plan
2009/10 which contained performance and improvement information for
all Directorates and Corporate Plan priorities.
The draft Plan contained performance
information currently available for key PIs. This performance
information would be used by the Wales Audit Office to assess the
Council's ability to improve, and therefore was of critical
importance to the reputation of the Council.
The Plan was continually evolving as
information was made available, and was not yet fully
completed. This information would need to be included prior
to the final draft being presented to Cabinet and subsequently,
Council. Information was awaited on target setting for the
next three years and Welsh comparison data, which would not be
available until September.
The Improvement Plan formed a part of the
Policy Framework and required the agreement of Council.
RESOLVED -
(1) T H A
T the Improvement Plan for 2009/10 as currently drafted be
endorsed, subject to the sentence on Page 45 of the document
reading “In Adult Services, delayed transfers of care (bed
blocking) have risen this year” being replaced with “In Adult
Services, the numbers of people subject to delayed transfers of
care (bed blocking) were fewer than the annual target figure of
seven, suggesting initiatives to target delays have been
effective”.
(2) T H A
T the Chief Executive in consultation with the Leader be authorised
to finalise the Plan.
(3) T H A
T the draft Plan be submitted to the Scrutiny Committees for
consideration and to Cabinet for approval in September.
Reasons for decisions
(1) To
ensure that actions are taken to improve services.
(2&3) To agree the Plan for external
audit within required timescales.”
