The first national report, Service Indicators in Local Authorities 2004, which was prepared by the Local Government Management Services Board and published in July 2005, details the performance of local authorities in relation to 42 service indicators, covering the broad range of local authority activity. At the launch of the report, I indicated my agreement with the report's conclusion that there should be no fundamental changes to the 42 indicators for the next two years. This will better facilitate local authorities in tracking their performance over the three-year period 2004 to 2006. However, I can assure the Deputy that her proposal will be examined in the review of indicators at the appropriate time.
