In the course of preparing What’s Working the Commission provided advice and guidance to the Treasury, Ministry of Health, State Services Commission (SSC), Ministry of Defence, Ministry of Education and 6 54 The scale of the products and services in this output area have been determined by available capacity and known responsive requirements. The standards for each output have been determined based on historical trends. They have also been adjusted to reflect some project re-prioritisation. Inevitably, given the contestable nature of the content and as evidenced through results to date, there will always be a percentage (0–40%) of stakeholders who will not indicate that a product or service has been of value, or of great value to them irrespective of its quality. This is particularly evident where surveys are used as an evaluation methodology as the outputs often focus on long-term change that is not evident when the surveys are undertaken. Consequently, standards for surveys of these outputs set a range of 60–80% of stakeholders or participants rating the output of value or great value with the final figure determined by the length of time the programme has been established and previous year’s results. No comparable data was available domestically or internationally. Human Rights Commission
