Members considered a report which presented the directorate and service plans for Housing and Adult Social Services (HASS) covering the period 2008-2011.

The plans, which were annexed to the report, comprised a Directorate Plan, linking the work of HASS to the Council’s corporate objectives, and six service plans detailing the service aims, key objectives and performance targets.

It was noted that there were still a few amendments to be made to the Corporate Plan, including the addition of the corporate improvement priority which was led by HASS (page 3).  Officers also agreed to check whether the figures for the landlord service (page 4) included tenancies managed on behalf of Housing Associations.
