To submit a report by the Head of Corporate Transformation.

It was RESOLVED to note the areas which the Senior Leadership Team is managing to secure improvements into the future as per section 1.3 of the report along with mitigation measures outlined.

The report of the Head of Corporate Transformation was presented in relation to Quarter 4 for the financial year 2017/18.

The Portfolio Holder (Corporate) said that the Corporate Scorecard shows that the performance indicators for the Council’s sickness levels have seen a further improvement in Quarter 4 with 9.78 days sick FTE against the target of 10 days sick per FTE.  This is a positive result due to the hard work undertaken by the Council over the last few years under the leadership of the Senior Leadership Team.    He referred to the Social Services Department which showed underperformance in two indicators with Children’s Services and Adult Services against their annual targets for the year.  Details of these are set out in paragraphs 2.1.3 and 2.1.4 of the report along with an explanation in mitigation of the underperformance and proposed improvements measures in place. 

The Chair of the Corporate Scrutiny Committee said that discussions were undertaken at the Corporate Scrutiny Committee at its meeting held on 26 June, 2016 with the Wales Audit Office noting that the Council has significantly improved its corporate arrangements to manage sickness absence.
