[TCUG] BV165 Re-visited

As the end of the financial year approaches and deadlines for Best Value 
indicators draw near, it has fallen to me to calculate our BV165 figures 
using the new 'formula'.  To help us over the transition period from one 
method of calculating the figures to the new method, I was asked to 
produce start and end of year figures using both methods.  Both sets of 
figures showed an 'improvement' over the year but with the new figures  
noticably lower than the figures calculated using the old method (about 
seventy percent compared with about eighty percent).

Despite the fact that we are now counting something quite different to 
before, our Best Value Team seem rather shocked by the difference in the 
results and to calm them I have agreed to ask whether others have seen a 
similar change in absolute value for BV165.  If so, have others found 
that the new value is generally higher or lower that the corresponding 
figures calculated using the old method?

Thanks,

Dave Hulson
