73 Figure 16 outlines some of the key quality measures of these care plans. Figure 16: Percentages of Measures of Adequacy of Care Plans, 2009-10 to 2013-14 The overall improvement of care plans in 2013-14 also translates to the quality of the information contained in the plans. As shown in Figure 16 all measures of quality represented have increased substantially from 2012-13. The information about daily care and control increased by 12 per cent from 2012-13. Information about identifying needs of the child and the listing of measures to address those needs increased by 17 and 15 per cent respectively. Apart from a decrease in 2012-13, these quality measures have been gradually improving since the commencement of the reviews in 2009-10. This is a positive outcome. 55% 61% 75% 62% 79% 55% 57% 74% 58% 77% 54% 60% 69% 78% 90% 50% 55% 60% 65% 70% 75% 80% 85% 90% 95% 2009-10 2010-11 2011-12 2012-13 2013-14 Adequately Identify needs of child Adequately outline measures to address the child's needs Sets out decisions about daily care and control
