Mid-year results for 2005-2006

Regional Development Agencies' reported mid year outputs for 2005/06


The following tables show the progress made by the Regional Development Agencies in delivering against the Core Output targets set in RDA Corporate Plans for 2005-08. The RDA Tasking Framework, introduced in April 2005, comprises a set of six core outputs with four mandatory components and each RDA has set target ranges against these outputs in their Corporate Plans. The tables show the outputs reported for the six months from April to September 2005, on a gross attributable basis. 

Experience shows that outputs of this type are not delivered equally across the year.  For example, programmes enabling the remediation of Brownfield land tend to deliver the majority of their outputs towards the end of the financial year. It should also be noted that the targets for the London Development Agency are set by the Mayor of London in the term of a single figure rather than a range. 

The reported outputs for 2005/06 will also be disaggregated on a rural/urban basis and by disadvantaged areas, as required by the Tasking Framework.
