Across all 14 indicators, we have achieved 42% of targets, with 29% being on the
borderline of dipping below target and a further 29% that were slightly below target. We
have summarised the results below:
Participation
The Active People Survey showed a small decrease in the number of adults
participating in 3 x 30 mins physical activity per week (23.5% in 2010/11 compared with
25% in 2009/10). The closure of both Abbey Leisure Centre and Tadcaster Leisure
Centre would have had an influence on attendances, but cannot be the sole reason for
the drop in visits.
With attendance figures in general at both Abbey Leisure Centre and Tadcaster Leisure
Centre there have been instances where the collection and reporting of usage data has
not been as accurate as it could have been. We are to carry out a review of data
collection and make improvements in this area.
In 2009/10, there were 5,244 actual visits per 1000 of the population and for the year
2010/11 the target was 6,200. The actual was 4,100, which represents an
underachievement against target. However, there were a number of reasons for this:
• In the past, collection of data has included the Skate Park and catering facilities at
Abbey Leisure Centre. As there was no real method of collecting this data, there
is no way of ensuring total accuracy. Current figures have not included these two
areas of the service.
• As mentioned, refurbishment at Abbey Leisure Centre meant that at specific points
the facility was under construction, services were disrupted and attendances were
affected.
• We have also recognised areas for improvement in relation to data collection from
an operational perspective (i.e. ensuring that all swipes of the Lifestyle Card are
accurately recorded as are customers for large events and functions.
In order to address this issue, we will review data collection and reporting but also look at
a number of initiatives across the facility to drive up attendance figures.
Number of GP Referrals
Over the last year, the target for the number of GP referral clients has been 256,
however there have only been 61 clients that have used this service. This is reflective
of the scheme being on hold at Abbey Leisure Centre as staff required additional
training in order to be suitably qualified to deliver the programme.
We are already in the process of re-launching the programme with full buy in from GP
surgeries and re-training a number of existing fitness instructors to be able to deliver an
improved service.
