Monitoring refers to setting targets and milestones to measure progress and achievement and check whether the inputs are producing the planned outputs i.e. it determines whether implementation is proving consistent with design intent—implying we can tweak our approach during the monitoring period. Evaluation is not just about demonstrating eventual success; it also provides insights into why things don’t work (as learning from mistakes has equal value). Monitoring and evaluation are not about finding out about everything (which is intimidating), but are focused on the things that matter.
Monitoring and evaluation
The Ensuring monitoring and evaluation section of the Cluster Planning Support Portal is divided into sections covering the following areas:
See the Cluster Planning Support Portal which includes a section on Ensuring monitoring and evaluation.
Cluster peer review
Peer review allows those who best understand local systems and the current pressures to identify barriers and enablers and to share good practise. Peer review has benefits to clusters, Regional Partnership Boards (RPBs) and the Strategic Programme for Primary Care (SPPC) including highlighting structures and systems that are working effectively and identifying risks that remain unaddressed.

PCMW and ACD monitoring and evaluation plan
The Primary Care Model for Wales (PCMW) and Accelerated Cluster Development (ACD) Programme monitoring and evaluation plan sets out how these transformation ambitions will provide assurance of implementation progress, shared learning, and support joining up of local and regional plans. It describes the step-wise introduction of several supporting tools and products.
