Donna Talbot, Head of Business Intelligence and Michael Walder, Information, Intelligence, Quality and Performance Manager, attended and presented a report setting out details of the corporate performance monitoring report for the 1^st Quarter (Q1) of 2016/17 (April to June).

It was reported that quarterly Quality of Service reports against the themes of Start Well, Live Well and Age Well, along with Highlight Reports for Development & Corporate Services and Commissioning, Governance, Finance & Public Services have been produced for Q1 , giving an overview of performance against agreed headings and parameters.

An overview of the Q1 budget position was provided at Appendix 'A' so that performance could be viewed within the associated financial context.

It was noted that the latest Ofsted Post Inspection update was provided at Appendix 'B' and updates would continue to feature in these reports going forward.

The key highlights were noted and included:

Start Well:

·  It is taking less time for children to be matched with an adoptive family following court authority from 272 days (Q4 15/16) to 237 days (Q1 16/17), a decrease in 35 days (year to end of August 217 days).

·  It is taking less time between a child entering care and moving in with their adoptive family, from 540 days (Q4 15/16) to 485 days (Q1 16/17), a decrease of 55 days (year to end of August 451 days). During Q1 2016/17, 55% of children waited less than 16 months between entering care and moving in with their adoptive family in Lancashire which was an improvement on the previous quarter (53%). For the year to August this has improved further to 63% and is higher than the 2015 national (47%), regional (45%), and statistical neighbour performance (44.2%).

·  Lancashire Youth Offending Team (LYOT) remains in the second quartile for First Time Entrants with a slight decrease in the rate per 100,000 from 307 (Q4 2015/16) to 293 (Q1 2016/17).

·  94.5% of Lancashire primary schools were judged as good or outstanding and this was higher than the national average (88.5%). 24 of 480 were not rated as good or outstanding.

Live Well:

·  The number of Libraries' book issues decreased in Q1 2016/17 (1,138,090) and is lower than the same period of 2015/16 (1,192,527). The number of Library E-Book loans has gone up from last year being 34,863 in Q1 of 2016/17, (28,522 in Q4 2015/16) and 23,803 in Q1 of 2015/16.
