To consider a report of the Leader of the Council (Policy, Finance & Devolution)

Following the reporting of new Executive Portfolio responsibilities at the Annual Council Meeting, the eight Portfolio Performance and Resource Agreements (PPRAs) have been considered by the last cycle of Scrutiny Committees. These reflect the Executive’s priorities, alongside spending plans set out in the Medium Term Financial Plan and support the outcomes set out in the 2016/17 Council Plan.

The Agreements will provide the basis for Portfolio Performance and Resource Reporting during the year, along with the Corporate and Leader’s Reports.  Final versions of these are now presented for approval by the Executive, incorporating any changes made following discussion with and comments from Scrutiny Committees.

It is recommended that the Executive approves the 2016/17 Portfolio Agreements included at Appendix 1 to the report.

The Leader of the Council (Policy, Finance & Devolution) submitted a report (copies of which had been circulated) inviting the Executive to approve its Portfolio Agreements for 2016/17 that set out the Executive’s priorities for the coming year. The Agreements would provide the basis for in-year and annual performance reporting against these priorities, key investment programmes and other activities and budgets that supported delivering these outcomes.

The Executive Councillor (Adult Social Care) reported on a recent announcement that Stockport Council and CCG had been successful in their bid to the Greater Manchester Transformation Fund for resources to support the integration and transformation of health and social care.

RESOLVED – That the 2016/17 Portfolio Agreements set out at appendix 1 of the report be approved.
