Local government

---

Summary

As part of the Comprehensive Spending Review announcement the Government recently published the single set of 198 national indicators that will underpin the new performance framework. 

The Government is now consulting on the detailed definitions of the set to ensure that the methodology for measuring individual national indicators at a local level is sound. The consultation seeks views on the methodology, frequency of reporting and data source of each individual indicator.

The Government is not seeking views on whether individual indicators should be included in the new set of national indicators, nor is it seeking views on the substance or the balance of outcomes represented by the indicators. This is because the indicators represent Government decisions on national priorites to be delivered by local government, working alone or in partnership, which were taken at the Comprehensive Spending Review.
