Next Steps It is recommended that Financial Policy Panel refers areas of concern to the relevant policy committees, where managers will report on the latest situation and make proposals for action / remediation. Particular attention needs to be given to those areas at ‘Red’ as remedial action needs to be taken to get these back on track. Q4’s Performance Management report will be available in May and key issues will be reported direct to Policy Committees
