The Mayor introduced the Strategic Performance Monitoring Report. He noted that it had been scrutinised at the recent Overview and Scrutiny Committee meeting where a number of challenging targets were noted and there was a particular discussion on staff sickness levels.

During discussion Members asked for more information around adoption & fostering and homeless households indicators. Officers explained that adjustments to the thresholds on taking children into care had impacted on the fostering and adoption numbers but that this was likely to settle down again.

The Mayor agreed the recommendation as set out.
