Motion to East Midlands Councils (submitted by Cllr David Sprason, Leicestershire County Council) a) That East Midlands Councils: i) puts on record its deep disappointment at the decision of the Joint Committee of PCTs concerning the reconfiguration of Children’s Congenital Heart Services in England which will result in the closure of children’s heart surgical services at the Glenfield Hospital in Leicester; ii) notes that the decision of the Joint Committee appears to be perverse in that the Independent Panel of Experts who were commissioned by the National Safe and Sustainable Team had given the highest score to the option which would have seen surgical services retained at the Glenfield Hospital; iii) notes as a consequence and based on the impact analysis undertaken by the NHS itself, that the journey times for children with congenital heart disease and their carers will increase by between 60 to 90 minutes, with the longest journey times being experienced by those living in Lincolnshire; 3 Item 3 b) That East Midlands Council therefore lobbies for an urgent review of this decision and urges its constituent bodies to do likewise Cllrs Robert Parker, John Boyce, David Bill, Tony Howard and Charmaine Morgan spoke in favour of the motion. The motion was carried with no votes against and 5 abstentions. A copy of the letter is attached as Appendix 3(a). 14 Questions to Chairman or nominee None. 15 Speakers i.

Recommendation Members of EMC are invited to: Welcome the ‘Investing in Opportunity’ prospectus as a basis for further work and lobbying aimed at increasing investment into the East Midlands. 7 Item 5a 1. Background 1.1 Investment, infrastructure and growth are common concerns for councils across the East Midlands. Often these objectives can be achieved best by local action, either directly or by working through Local Enterprise Partnerships (LEPs). 1.2 Reflecting upon our comparative advantage in manufacturing, logistics, construction and food and drink industries, and the strengths offered by our urban communities and rural diversity, we should ensure that the opportunities for securing greater levels of investment in local infrastructure and growth are not lost to us. Councils and LEPs are key to achieving this. 1.3 However, there are some ‘larger than local’ issues where a wider collaborative approach can help deliver results. In this we can point to past successes. The campaigns to dual the A46, secure better broadband and most recently to upgrade and electrify the Midland Main Line have all demonstrated the power of well evidenced collective action to deliver major investment. Despite this, independent research by the Smith Institute has highlighted that the substantial growth potential that exists across the East Midlands has yet to be fully recognised in national investment decisions. 1.4 As result, the EMC Executive Board asked Cllr Jim Harker OBE to lead a small ‘task and finish group’ to develop a short prospectus demonstrating the economic benefits to UK plc of increasing the share of national investment in the East Midlands, and highlighting a limited number of strategic investment priorities. 2. Investing in Opportunity Prospectus 2.1 The ‘Investing in Opportunity’ prospectus is split into 3 main sections. Section 1: Key Economic Growth Opportunities : This highlights the predominance of the East Midlands in manufacturing, and key sectors where local businesses have a competitive advantage relative to the UK and significant growth potential. Section 2: Key Housing Growth Opportunities: This demonstrates the continued commitment of councils across the East Midlands to provide housing for local communities, and the importance of infrastructure investment in unlocking delivery. Section 3: Strategic Infrastructure Priorities : This identifies investment in 5 strategic transport corridors and in broadband, flood defences and energy 8 Item 5a infrastructure as crucial to both national and local competitiveness. It also highlights 6 locally supported and well developed infrastructure projects where there is an immediate opportunity to support collective action by councils and LEPs. 3. Next Steps 3.1 This prospectus is just the start. It sets out the summary case for greater investment and is intended to support the efforts of individual councils and LEPs to promote and deliver growth. However, more work will be required to develop and justify individual strategic projects, and to develop a ‘sub-national infrastructure pipeline’ which will help local business to secure construction contracts.

  • How Mervyn King Reshaped the Bank of England
    How Mervyn King reshaped King of the Bank of England. Threadneedle Street B Y D IANE C OYLE There can scarcely ever have been an appointment to high office less controversial than the choice of Mervyn King as governor of the Bank of England. This is not to say he is without critics—more on this later. Nevertheless, he is profoundly respected as one of the key individuals who transformed British monetary policy after the humiliation of the pound’s ejection from the European Exchange Rate Mecha- nism (ERM) in September 1992. TTo call the subsequent changes a transformation is no exaggera- tion. The Bank of England now heads the international league tables in terms of central banking theory and practice. The structure of its formal independence (put in place in May 1997 by the incoming Labour chancellor of the exchequer, Gordon Brown) and its success- ful implementation of inflation targeting are widely admired. For the Bank’s success can be enumerated precisely: 43 consecutive quarters of GDP growth, at a year-on-year rate close to trend, and with inflation an average of just 0.1 percentage point away from the 2.5 percent tar- get since 1997. All this in a country that previously had the highest inflation and most volatile growth rate in the G7. Before Mervyn King’s promotion from deputy governor to the top job was announced last November there was some press speculation about rival candidates. His well-known hesitation about taking Britain into European Monetary Union was thought to be an obstacle for the THE MAGAZINE OF INTERNATIONAL ECONOMIC POLICY 888 16th Street, N.W., Suite 740 Diane Coyle is an economic consultant, member of the UK Washington, D.C.

La prematura y aguda pérdida de popularidad por Brown, más la gran ventaja que disfrutan en las encuestas los conservadores de David Cameron, perfilan a Miliband como un posible aspirante al liderazgo laborista incluso antes de las próximas elecciones generales. http://www.cidob.org 1 of 5 Biografía 1.
