Purpose

To review performance for Quarter 4 (Q4) 2025/26 and to report the performance position across all Directorates for this period.

Decision

That Cabinet:

a)    review performance for Q4 2025/26; and

b)    agree any outstanding key milestones from Delivery Plan 2025/26 (see Appendix A) are carried forward to the Delivery Plan 2026/27

Alternative options considered

Cabinet may choose to review delivery and operational performance more or less frequently; or request alternative actions to address any identified areas of underperformance, including referral to the relevant scrutiny committee. Increased frequency is not recommended as progress is unlikely to be substantial on a monthly basis; and less frequency poses risk in underperformance going undetected for a significant period of time.
