Note 1: SX27 - This data will not be available until the DCLG publishes the national comparative information in December 2006.

Note 2: SX29, 32 & 33 – These figures may change once the data has been audited in September 2006.

Note 3:  SF715 - The 05/06 target was not achieved as the budget was cut from £11,560 to £5,560 due to capping.

Note 4: SX20 - Some appraisals were not completed on time, due to workload and restructuring pressures. The deadline was extended to 31st May for 2006 only.

Note 1: SF706 - South Cambridgeshire achieved an 04/05 rate of return of 4.84%, which resulted in our being second out of a group of 139 authorities that reported to CIPFA. The rate of return for the 139 authorities ranged from 4.45% to 4.92% and the average was 4.65%.

Note 2: SF706 - The annual target is "to achieve a greater return than the CIPFA average over a 5-year rolling period".

Note 3: SF706 - The actual is not known as it depends on the CIPFA benchmarking group performance, which will not be known until late in 2006.

Note 4: SF707 - The Council’s 05/06 budget was substantially reduced from the original because of capping.

Note 5: BV76a/b – The number of claimants visited per 1,000 caseload is expected to reduce due to an increasing caseload.
