Minutes:

Cabinet considered performance for the second quarter of 2014/15 following the quarterly performance review held on 20 October 2014.

 

The Assistant Director, Place Based Commissioning introduced the report confirming its focus had been on the successes, challenges and future priorities of each of the directorates.

 

Following a question from members about the dental health of children in the county, the Director of Adults Wellbeing confirmed the dental health service would be running tooth brushing workshops with a focus on parents understanding the importance of teeth cleaning, regular visits to dentists and diet. This will be in place before the end of the year. Following a further question about the percentage of fluoride in drinking water the Director of Adults Wellbeing advised a written answer would be given.

 

Concerning the figures on the number of people killed or seriously injured in road traffic collisions the Assistant Director, Place Based Commissioning confirmed that detailed assessments are carried out by road safety engineers to collate the patterns in accidents. During this year the pattern has shown an increase in injuries due to collisions rather than a pattern of treatable road conditions. There is a package of road safety information in place and the drink/drive campaign will start before Christmas.

 

With regard to the accident on the Holme Lacy Road on the 10 November 2014 the Assistant Director, Place Based Commissioning confirmed he was not yet in a position to give any causes for the accident and work with the police was continuing.
