Report of the Director of Markets & Consumer Protection.

A report of the Director of Markets and Consumer Protection detailed the Business Plan for 2014-17 for the Department of Markets and Consumer Protection. The report highlighted that the Department reported to three discrete City Committees: Markets; Port Health and Environmental Services; and Licensing. The Business Plan consisted of an overarching plan which contained information relating to the whole department, and a separate annex for each of the three Committees which reflected the responsibilities of that Committee only.

The Business Plan identified some key achievements from the past year and set out what the Department aimed to achieve this year, the standards which will be attained, and where this fit within the corporate plans.

A discussion took place on the Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and that these be listed next to the objective in future reports. The Director undertook to explore whether the KPIs could be described as more outcome based.
