Performance Reporting

Report on Results

This section reports progress on performance targets set out in the ministry's 2003/04 – 2005/06 Service Plan, each of which contributes to the ministry's vision of a province of healthy children and responsible families living in safe, caring and inclusive communities. The 2003/04 – 2005/06 Service Plan, which lists the Ministry's Goals and Objectives and performance measures and targets, can be viewed online (www.mcf.gov.bc.ca/reports_publications.htm).

Appendix 2 provides supplementary performance information relating to these measures. This information includes multi-year trends; benchmarks or historical performance trends; the expected future, where available; the rationale for the measure chosen; the definition; how the actual results were measured; the caveats and/or limitations of information reported; and data source used.

Note: Performance measures evolve as the ministry's needs and resources change. The ministry will continue to refine the measures over time to reflect the ministry's and government's priorities and to take advantage of new performance information. As a result, not all measures contained in this report appear in the 2004/05 – 2006/07 Service Plan. The performance tables will identify those measures that are not used in the 2004/05 –  2006/07 Service Plan.

Please see Measuring Success for more information on societal indicators that are tracked by the ministry. (www.mcf.gov.bc.ca/reports_publications.htm)
