Comparative Performance
Minutes:
It was noted that arrangements were in place within the old Best Value (BV) Family Group 4 to compile an annual comparative data in respect of the two (now withdrawn) National Fire Indicators that related specifically to fire authorities.
Data was provided for the six components which in turn made up the two explicit fire and rescue indicators in respect of: the position of each Fire and Rescue Service within the Family Group, 2016/17 – 2017/18 comparative progress/decline; percentage change in terms of actual numbers; the position of each F&RS within the comparative group for the respective indicator and a summary overview in graphical form.
Members examined each indicator in turn and noted Lancashire’s position.
National Indicator 33 – Number of deliberate (i) primary and (ii) secondary fires per 10,000 population.
