This report is provided in response to a request by Members (at a Fire Authority meeting on 14 June 2006) that a detailed analysis should be conducted into areas where, using Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy (CIPFA) statistics for 2005/06, the Fire Authority had previously been identified as spending above the average for Combined Fire Authorities. Although the updated statistics from CIPFA required for this work have not yet been received, this report instead uses 'value for money' and 'direction of travel' profile tools recently provided by the Audit Commission for the purpose of their forthcoming assessments of the Fire Authority.
