The new Welsh Government Performance Management Framework was implemented in April 2020, which includes a new set of performance targets and measures. These measures underpin all aspects of the work we do, by informing our management teams of progress, good practice and emerging trends. The purpose of these measures and targets, both at a national and local level is not just to monitor performance but also allows us to plan the delivery of our services going forward. As a result, we can proactively manage any potential issues, mitigate against risks, and use the information to drive our future services.
