BVPIs 2005/06 Financial Policy Panel, 18 July 2006
Welcome! • Overview of BVPIs. • Guide to understanding performance. • Performance 2005/06. • ‘Amber’ status. • ‘Red’ status. • Next steps.
Overview of BVPIs • It is a statutory requirement to collate and report on Best Value Performance Indicators (BVPIs) each year. • These BVPIs enable us to see how we are performing, and allows us to set ourselves performance targets for the next 3 years. • Data quality is embedded in our systems and processes through our data quality arrangements for the collection and reporting of these BVPIs. • This ensures that we have checked the accuracy of all data submitted and that the required evidence to support the data is there (for auditable purposes) prior to publication. • Our aim is to ensure that all of the BVPIs are “unqualified” – they demonstrate 100% accuracy and are accepted as being a true and fair picture of our performance by the Audit Commission.
Guide to Understanding Performance • Traffic light system to illustrate our progress and performance on an indicator. • Each indicator is coded as follows: We have met or exceeded our target for 05/06. We have missed our target, but by <10%. We have missed our target by >10%.
Performance 2005/06 • We published our Best Value Performance Plan 2006 at the end of June (hard copy available in the Members’ Room). • Please note that some BVPIs have sub-indicators. • There are a total of 77 areas that we have to report to central government against. • However, of these, only 49 have been assigned traffic lights. The other indicators are new, so 2005/06 was used as a year to collate baseline information before any targets could be set for the future. • Only those areas at ‘Amber’ or ‘Red’ are being reported to this Panel (exception reporting).
‘Amber’ Status • There are eight indicators at • BV 8 (% of undisputed invoices for commercial goods and services paid within 30 days of receipt or within the agreed payment terms). • Whilst performance has improved by 1.61% since 04/05, the statutory target of 100% for 05/06 means we are at ‘Amber.’ • To achieve the statutory target of 100%, we would have to invest in more sophisticated invoicing systems, which is not a priority for the Council. • Our local target for 06/07 is 98%.
‘Amber’ Status (cont’d) 2005/06 target The 2005/06 target was missed by 0.33%.
‘Amber’ Status (cont’d) 2005/06 target The 2005/06 target was missed by 0.39%.
‘Amber’ Status (cont’d) 2005/06 target The 2005/06 target was missed by 0.12 days (this is measured in days per person), but saw a significant reduction from 04/05.
‘Amber’ Status (cont’d) 2005/06 target The 2005/06 target was missed by 2%. This is the result of the disposal of The Pines, a compliant building, which changed the denominator.
‘Amber’ Status (cont’d) 2005/06 target The 2005/06 target was missed by 0.38%.
‘Amber’ Status (cont’d) 2005/06 target The 2005/06 target was missed by 0.37%.
‘Amber’ Status (cont’d) 2005/06 target The 2005/06 target was missed by £1.68. Please note that costs increased from 2005/06 with the launch of the weekly kerbside collection scheme.
‘Red’ Status • There are eight indicators at • BV 14 – % of employees retiring early (excluding ill-health retirements) as a % of the total workforce.
‘Red’ Status (cont’d) 2005/06 target The 2005/06 target was missed by 0.43%.
‘Red’ Status (cont’d) BV 64 – the number of non-local authority-owned vacant dwellings returned into occupation or demolished during the financial year as a direct result of action by the local authority. • The target for 2005/06 was to bring 5 dwellings in, but ‘0’ properties was achieved. • The target for subsequent years is 10 per year. • This indicator is now being monitored by Social Committee on a regular basis, as well as through the quarterly performance management framework. • This is in response to the Affordable Housing Inspection earlier this year.
‘Red’ Status (cont’d) 2005/06 target The 2005/06 target was missed by 34.08.
‘Red’ Status (cont’d) 2005/06 target The 2005/06 target was missed by 3 days.
‘Red’ Status (cont’d) 2005/06 target The 2005/06 target was missed by 2.3 days.
‘Red’ Status (cont’d) BV 199b: Proportion of relevant land and highways (expressed as a %) from which unacceptable levels of graffiti are visible • Outturn of 19% was achieved, against a target of 5%. • A target of 15% has been set for 2006/07 and 2007/08; and of 10% for 2008/09.
‘Red’ Status (cont’d) 2005/06 target The 2005/06 target was missed by 1.63. There is currently no target for 2008/09 As the Community Safety Strategy only sets targets up to 2007/08.
Next Steps • We are currently undergoing a Data Quality Inspection on this process. • This will be completed by 31/08/06 and will inform the Value For Money conclusion which will be reported by 30 September 2006. • It is recommended that FPP escalate any areas of concern to the relevant policy committee, to enable remedial action to be identified and implemented in a timely manner. • A half yearly BVPI health check for BVPIs from 1 April to 30 September 2006 will be included in Q2’s Performance Management report. • Satisfaction BVPIs will be collated through the triennial Best Value Satisfaction Surveys in Autumn 2006. Results anticipated in Q4.
