Water Industry - Scottish Government Investment Group - Committed List performance progress report: quarter one 2023-2024

This sets out how Scottish Water is progressing with the delivery of projects and programmes included on the ‘Committed List’ and confirms the position up to the end of September 2023 (Q1 2023/24).


8. Future Improvements to Reporting

A key discussion topic at DAG has been in relation to what improvements to reporting are needed to be able to monitor outputs and outcomes for customers from projects delivered on the Committed List. At a high-level, customer benefits from Investment are identified as part of the assessment of investment needs. Each need is linked to either a Ministerial Objective or asset management policy (Management Approach), and therefore projects added to the Committed List are known to deliver these needs.

It is recognised that further work is required to produce reporting that includes monitoring of outputs and outcomes. As a step towards this, at the DAG meeting for year-end 2022/23, it was agreed that a Short Life Task Group (SLTG) would be created with a focus on agreeing a common definition and relationship between of outputs, outcomes, and benefits.
