Social Protection Committee to discuss the targets for inclusion in the Department of Social Protection’s Public Service Performance Report 2023

Officials from the Department of Social Protection will appear before the Committee.

Speaking ahead of the meeting, Committee Cathaoirleach Deputy Denis Naughten said: “We welcome the opportunity to discuss with Department officials the targets set out in the Public Service Performance Reporting process. Performance reporting was originally introduced in 2012 with a view to providing analysis of the type and quality of performance information of each Government Department and the impact of their respective public policies.”

“The Department of Social Protection’s performance reports are framed around five key pillars of support namely; pensions; working age income and employment supports; illness and disability and carers income supports; income supports for children; and supplementary payments.”

“The Committee looks forward to working with the Department in framing it’s input to the Public Service Performance Report targets.”
