The joint report from the Directors of Strategy, Partnerships and Improvement and the Director of Finance and Corporate Services provided members with a corporate overview of finance and performance information to support informed decision-making and manage performance effectively. It was noted that Quarter 1 reflected improvements in indicators and reporting but that Quarter 2 would be a better indicator of trends. The Deputy Director of Finance and Corporate Services drew attention to the importance of departmental project monitoring and pressures appearing early in the year which, it was anticipated, would be kept within budget.
