National Performance Framework: proposed National Outcomes considered by the Health, Social Care and Sport Committee - Conclusion
However, the Committee has heard significant concerns about how the policy ambition expressed by the National Outcomes is translated into policy action, how progress is measured and monitored, and the overall framework for accountability.
The Committee is of the view that, for the NPF and National Outcomes to be valuable and effective, there needs to be:
Clear and transparent alignment with all Scottish Government policy and budget decisions;
Improved recognition of the intersectionality of individual National Outcomes across different policy portfolios, and the need to ensure an integrated whole-system approach towards making progress;
Improved mechanisms for holding policy-makers properly accountable for their contribution towards meeting the National Outcomes;
Improved monitoring and measurement of performance against the National Outcomes in a way that allows progress or the lack thereof to be clearly and immediately understood;
Improved mechanisms for public engagement to help inform the ongoing development and improvement of the NPF and the National Outcomes.
