NRS Business Plan 2011-12

The National Records of Scotland (NRS) was formed on 1 April 2011 by the merger of the General Register Office for Scotland and the National Archives of Scotland.  The business plan for the first year of operation draws together the objectives of the two former organisations.

Like other Scottish public bodies, NRS operates within the National Performance Framework set by Scottish Ministers. The Framework (see http://www.scotland.gov.uk/About/purposestratobjs) underpins delivery of the Scottish Government’s purpose which is:

“To focus government and public services on creating a more successful country, with opportunities for all of Scotland to flourish, through increasing sustainable economic growth.”

Our Strategic Objectives for 2011-12 link the Scottish Government National Outcomes and Purpose Targets, which are designed to achieve the Government’s Purpose, with the work of every part of NRS. They provide a line of sight from the National Performance Framework to the job descriptions of individual NRS staff, through the Business Improvement Objectives and Business Objectives which underlie the Strategic Objectives.
