The Leader of the Council submitted a report introducing revisions to the 2013/14 East Herts Data Quality Strategy.

The Director of Finance and Support Services stated that non material changes had been made and the section regarding the “Data Quality Champions” had been removed.  The aim of the strategy was to ensure continued improvement in the quality of local government performance data, thereby ensuring greater confidence in the supporting data used to assess the performance of East Herts Council and its decision making.

In response to a query from Councillor J Wing, the Director of Finance and Support Services advised that page 104 onwards of the report detailed the single system administrators responsible for the core systems used by the Authority for managing data.

Members supported the revisions to the strategy and approved the report as now detailed.

RESOLVED – that (A) the proposed revisions to the strategy, as now detailed, be noted; and

(B)   the proposed changes to the Data Quality Strategy, as now detailed, be approved.
