The performance index provided in appendix one is as at the end of June 2021.  The Committee noted that performance had been strong and the current position was positive with only a small number of red and amber indicators.

 

In response to a question, the Head of Strategy and Performance confirmed that in response to Covid the requirement to publish statistics concerning absenteeism had been lifted.  However, the as part of Covid recover publication of the statistics would be reinstated and consequently the line had been retained on the performance dataset.
