EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1.1 Each HSCP is responsible for publishing an Annual Performance Report (APR) which sets out how they are improving on the National Health and Wellbeing Outcomes (NHWBO). The APR also includes a core suite of national indicators which contextualises the data and provides a comparative and broader picture of local performance. 1.2 The IJB have previously agreed that the Annual Performance Report would be presented to them each year. There have been seven Annual Performance Reports to date. Required content of the report is set out in The Public Bodies (Joint Working) (Content of Performance Reports) (Scotland) Regulations 2014. http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ssi/2014/326/contents/made 1.3 A draft version of this report was reviewed by the IJB in August. The data for the Health and Social Wellbeing Indictors was not finalised until early July which means that the final report could not be approved by the IJB before submission to Scottish Government. SLT signed off the final report in July 2024 ahead of submission of the draft. 1.4 Argyll and Bute HSCP - Annual Performance Report 2024-25 2.

It is not unusual as this is typically the most pressurised period over the annual cycle however we do not take for granted and this was monitored into quarter 1 and the performance has improved in line with expectation. 11.
