5. Consideration of any other important aspects of performance highlighted by Insight LBMs. We will not discuss performance in relation to every measure at every level. Instead discussion will focus on the following two areas (which were highlighted within the recent report to ECS Committee as areas where there was either a downward trend or a significant fall in 2019), or any specific measure where the data suggests significant improvement or highlights and area for improvement 2.
