Agenda item

The Committee considered a report of the Director of Transformation and Partnerships that presented progress against the councils corporate basket of performance indicators, Council Plan and service plan actions and other performance issues for the Altogether Healthier theme for the first quarter of 2018/19 financial year, covering the period April to June 2018 (for copy see file of minutes).

The Strategy Team Leader advised that smoking prevalence was declining and the gap was narrowing with the national figure.  Smoking cessation data had shown that more people were quitting than the same period last year.  There were still concerns with smoking at the time of delivery, breastfeeding had shown a small improvement in quarter 1.  With regards to adults being admitted to care on a permanent basis there was a significant gap between the target and the actual figures and therefore this area would be monitored closely.

Resolved:

That the report be received and any performance issues arising would be considered.
