The assessment report for 2023 covered 13 areas of assessment and included 46 recommendations.
Conclusions
Measures had been taken on all of the recommendations presented in the Audit Committee’s 2023 assessment report. There have been positive effects in 39 per cent of the recommendations. In line with the recommendations of the Audit Committee, the winter maintenance of footpaths and cycle paths has been harmonised, and the emergency services are updating their plans for emptying defence shelters, for example. In addition to this, the attractiveness of libraries has been improved, cultural services have promoted access to new types of grants, social guidance for families with children has improved the division of labour in the assessment of service needs, and substance abuse services have improved access to treatment to prevent drug-related deaths.
