A report from Councillor Tahir Rafiq, Cabinet Member, Corporate Affairs and HR is attached.

Councillor Tahir Rafiq, Cabinet Member for Corporate Resources and HR presented a report on the Corporate Plan 2020/22

In October 2020, Cabinet received a draft Bury 2030 Strategy as a proposal and basis for consultation which would drive and direct a common ambition, vision, delivery plan and improved outcomes for the Borough.

The Corporate Plan was a key delivery vehicle to realising the Bury 2030 vision and translated the Strategy into tangible corporate and departmental plans and priorities with clear deliverables and measures outcomes over a two-year period and was the first Corporate Plan for the Council and CCG under the single leadership and partnership structure.

Drafted under the current national Covid-19 pandemic and associated local response, there was a specific strategic objective to ensure a sustained focus building further on the initial 10-point plan which was delivered pre Wave 2. The Corporate Plan outlines core actions to enable and address recovery for the next 6 months. It was also informed by the recent Equalities Review and the need to strengthen Inclusion throughout all our activities. 

As with the Strategy, the Corporate Plan also aligned to the Locality Plan and supported the delivery of the ambition to secure transformational improvement in population health so that residents were in control of their lives and enabled through a joined-up health and care system.

The Corporate Plan was ambitious in defining a new way of working but would also demand tough decision-making, routine monitoring and constructive challenge so that the Council and others can be held to account in order that outcomes and experience was improved for communities, citizens and patients.

              Delegated decision:

That the Cabinet:

1.   Approved the Covid 6 month recovery plan set out in the Corporate Plan and;

2.   Recommended its adoption to Council.
