Dear Margaret, Kate and the group,
Alan may have some more information for you all but the 'benchmarking clubs'
have been established by the National Performance Advisory Group (NPAG).
You will probably be aware of the NPAG for the NHS since they have been
around for a few years (1983/4 I think?!). They were established within the
NHS initially from memory to provide advise on pay productivity, then moved
onto benchmarking of non clinical services and have now developed from then.
The 'benchmarking clubs' have come about under their new 'Towards Best
Value' action programme for 2001/2002.
The clubs aim, with groups of peer service managers, to identify and develop
performance indicators and from them service improvement action plans. I
know that they were planning to hold inaugural meetings for each club (they
are running clubs for a wide range of service areas). Seeing the e-mail
reminded me that I need to contact them to find out what is happening with
the OH one.
If you are interested in finding out more the NPAG facilitator responsible
for OH was Walter Linkhorn. His number was 0161 973 2478. I am not sure if
he is still there though. If you get no joy there try contacting Sally
Harris on the number that Alan noted.
I might see you there ...............
I hope that this information helps. Alan might be able to follow up with
some more.
Best wishes,
Stuart.
Stuart Cooper,
OH Adviser,
Houses of Parliament.
P.S. See you next Friday Margaret!
