Information about our annual performance metrics

Our performance

We review our performance metrics annually to ensure they continue to reflect our strategic priorities and the external environment. These metrics are monitored through our internal performance framework, including bimonthly performance reporting to NHS Resolution’s Board, as well as through quarterly accountability meetings with DHSC.
