What the results tell us
The lower scores against these commitments follow a very strong performance in the previous quarter. However, we need to continue to improve how we gather and use information in making and explaining our decisions. We are monitoring progress closely in all these areas and our ongoing staff training programme will help to ensure we continue to build on the previous improvements.
