Minutes:
The Committee considered a report of the Corporate Management Team which presented progress against the Council’s corporate basket of performance indicators, Council Plan, and service plan actions and other performance issues for the first quarter of the 2016/17 financial year, covering the period April to June 2016 (for copies see file of minutes).
The Strategic Manager, Performance and Information Management presented Members with an overview of the report.
Councillor Hart
queried whether there had been a response a question he had raised
at the meeting in July with regards to CASCYP 30 and the waiting
times for CAMHS referrals. The
Strategic Manager, Performance and Information Management confirmed
that a response had been received from the CCG and Tees,
Esk and Wear Valley Foundation
Trust. Both had had acknowledged
that the 22% increase in referrals needed addressing, possibly by
re-evaluating the service in order for patients who require lower
level services to be referred quickly and also free up clinical
staff to treat patients requiring more complex
treatment. The Overview and Scrutiny
Officer confirmed that the written response would be forwarded to
Councillor Hart following the meeting.
Resolved
That the report be noted.
