Phase 5 - service delivery

  1. Do we need to allow for flexible delivery capacity over the short to medium term to cater for unforeseen changes in demand levels due to changes in population levels or composition?
  2. Do we need to allow for flexible delivery capacity over the medium term due to population wave effects?
  3. Should we cross-check projected service-area population and service demand against other sources of data?
  4. Do we need to allow for possible changes in the mix of services demanded due to differences in the characteristics of those migrating in and out of the service area?
  5. What service delivery targets should be set for key policy groups?
  6. Will current administrative data systems capture sufficient information on the demographic characteristics of service recipients? Are the current demographic definitions consistent with other statistical series?
  7. Are monitoring procedures in place to check on the actual impacts on key service groups?
