Place Plan
Monitoring and Evaluation
In the 2019 Place Plan, we set out some measures of success, the most important measures being how we impact on people’s lives and wellbeing for the better. Other measures include financial responsibility and balance for our budgets, good quality rating from regulators such as the Care Quality Commission (CQC) and meeting NHS performance targets.
These original Place Plan outcomes were reviewed and updated and the subsequent outcomes for the 2022 Place Plan are set out below. They have been cross-referenced with, and are aligned with, the outcomes in the All Together Fairer report.
