Mathew Cole, LBBD, Director of Public Health, presented the report, and advised that the Board had previously agreed an outcomes framework which prioritised key issues for the improvement of the public’s health and their health and social care services.  The Board also monitored this high-level dashboard on a quarterly basis.  The report set out the performance for Quarter 2, which ended September 2017, or the latest data available.  The report also highlighted the changes that had been made to the indicators that are included in the dashboard.  Having received the overarching view of performance, including areas of concern and improvement, the Board:

(i)   Noted the performance and the areas where there were still challenges and the inclusion of two new indicators for:

·  The number of children who turn 15 months old in the reporting quarter who received a 12-month check.

·  Bowel screening – coverage of people aged 60–74 years;

(ii)  Noted the achievement of the Health Visitor Service in achieving green level indicators for all their services for two months running and commended the significant effort of the staff in achieving this; and

(iii)  Noted that the challenges of winter pressures would soon start to impact on services.
