I refer to the ‘Putting the Public First’ Economic Audit Committee report of October 2009, and in particular to recommendation three which was, -
‘To support the strategic management of the public sector, adopt an ‘Outcome Area’ approach by -
(a) grouping related areas of service delivery (for example, health, child protection) that are focused on ongoing citizen expectations of Government for core services;
(b) identifying matters that cross traditional Agency boundaries;
(c) designating lead roles and accountabilities in policy development across each Outcome Area;
(d) reporting (at least annually) to Cabinet within each Outcome Area to facilitate planning, decision making and accountability; and
(e) establishing groups of senior executives from across agencies to provide leadership across each Outcome Area’,
and I ask -
(1) Which of the following milestones contained in recommendation three have been achieved, -
(a) define a set of Outcome Areas consistent with national and international descriptors, and strategic linkages across Government, where appropriate (March 2010);
(b) prepare an implementation plan with the ECC for developing reports to Cabinet in each Outcome Area (June 2010);
(c) activate lead roles and sub-groups in Outcome Areas (July 2010); and
(d) commence regular reporting to Cabinet (from 2010)?
(2) If any of the above milestones contained in recommendation three have not been achieved, why not?
