8. PSA AND DSO PERFORMANCE
8.1.24 The Departmental Report 2009 states
that 2008-09 saw the establishment of a new governance system
for Departmental PSAs and DSOs; the Performance Committee oversees
progress against, and delivery of, the overall Value for Money
target alongside oversight of progress against PSAs, DSOs and
financial performance (para. 5.66). Could the Department provide
information on how often the Performance Committee has met since
its inception and what assessments it has carried out under its
remit? (Q115)
Answer
1. The Performance Committee has met seven
times since its inception and has ensured that adequate governance
arrangements are in place on key Department of Health performance
commitments. To this end, the Committee monitors overall PSA performance
of those indicators led by the Department, and those that contribute
to the delivery of other government department-led PSAs, value
for money, critical programmes and projects, and financial targets
on behalf of the Departmental Board.
