Make recommendations to Cabinet.
|
Conclusions:
|
Using the benchmarking information comparing NNDC
performance to our CIPFA nearest neighbours will provide a valuable insight into the
Council’s performance in the context of the performance of
similar local authorities. Using the contextual measure
information, which covers a wide range of social-economic
indicators, will allow a broad assessment of the health and climate
of North Norfolk. Monitoring the trends over time and in comparison
to North Norfolk’s CIPFA Nearest Neighbours; the East of England Districts; and the
England Districts, will provide a detailed insight of each measures
and will be a useful facilitator for any resulting recommended
actions that may be required.
|
Recommendations:
|
It
is recommended that the Committee;
For
the benchmarking report:
1.
Receive
and note the benchmarking information.
2.
Make
recommendations to Cabinet to investigate specific levels of
performance and/ or to take action.
3.

For the contextual
measures report:
1.
Receive
and note the information in the Contextual Measures Report –
first review.
2.
Make
recommendations to Cabinet to investigate specific datasets and/or
to take action.
3.
Decide
the frequency of further reviews of the report, to keep up to date
with the latest published data.
4.
Decide if
any additional reports are needed for different comparison groups,
such as Norfolk Districts or East of England
Districts.
5.
Decide if the printed copies of the additional
attachments for monitoring the health profile, should be retained
for meetings or if the hyperlinks will suffice.
|
Reasons for
Recommendations:
|
Reviewing benchmarking data in this way will ensure the Council
maintains acceptable levels of performance across the services
delivered by the Council. Reviewing contextual measure data in this
way will enable a more thorough monitoring of the objectives in the
Corporate Plan 2019 to 2023. It will also enable a proactive
insight in to the health and climate of North Norfolk.
