It was explained that the board had met the day before to discuss these preliminary findings. The original proposals had 5 key components: • To help more people keep fit and well for longer; • To strengthen the capacity of community and primary care services, including providing local beds where necessary; • To complement these services with acute hospitals providing the specialist services that they are uniquely able to provide; • Services to reflect local priorities with local doctors, nurses and other professionals playing a greater role in setting local priorities; • Services which are more responsive to the needs of patients’ and families’. There were six criteria for assessing planned changes to health services; quality; sustainability; affordability; acceptability; accessibility; and timescale. The recommendations put to the PCT board were to confirm the five key components and the six criteria for assessing health services. They were also recommended to develop mechanisms to ensure that future health service developments are demonstrably based upon the vision described in the consultation and are assessed against the six criteria. Finally the board were recommended to approve the proposed structure for developing health services in Cumbria based on locality teams and care stream planning. It was noted that the PCT board had agreed all of the recommendations put to them. Addressing specific areas of concern, Mr Forbes highlighted the following issues: Acute Hospitals With regard to the future of emergency care proposed by ‘Closer to Home, which included the introduction of an integrated, three-tier emergency care system, it was recommended and agreed by the Board that the integrated emergency care proposals be adopted subject to the revisions agreed with the consultants at the West Cumberland Hospital in January. Page 2 This included the changes to bed numbers at the West Cumberland to 220 and clinical agreement on out of hours emergency surgery (which helped alleviate concerns about patient transfers). With respect to palliative care, maternity care and stroke rehabilitation, the development of the best way forward for West Cumbria would be delegated to the teams responsible for these services. Community Hospitals With regard to community hospitals, it was recommended and agreed by the Board that the community hospitals will continue to play a key role, providing step-up and step-down care and out-patient services and that the bed numbers be reduced to 140-170 beds. However, it was also agreed by the Board that there would be no changes to bed numbers for at least two years until the community support networks were in place, providing a ‘safety net’ during the transition process. Local health teams would determine the services for each site. Cumbria Primary Care Trust continued to be very confident that funding for the community hospitals/health villages would be secured. Members were generally content that most of their concerns would appear to have been addressed and looked forward a more detailed response in due course. 655 ADULT SOCIAL CARE CONSULTATION Members asked Mary Bradley, Director of Age Concern North West, whether she was content that the proposals represent the best available option for Allerdale. Mary Bradley explained that Age Concern chaired the group as advocates for older people. The meetings were well attended and there were representatives for older people present. Members raised the issue that they had heard that the numbers of residential care places are not to increase despite a growing elderly population, because it is felt that more people will be supported at home. Members asked whether Age Concern share that view. In response to questioning Mary Bradley noted that there was still number crunching to do and that it is difficult to predict personal choice. With an aging population there is a different sort of profile of needs and there needs to be much better options for people needing physical care such as extra care housing. We also need to make sure that there are beds for mental health patients. With regards to mental health, Laurence Hilland, West Lakes Branch Manager for the Alzheimer’s Society told Members that there will be an increase of 154% in dementia over the next 20 to 30 years and that different models need to be considered as many people with dementia do not require the level of care given in care homes. Page 3 Members asked Mary Bradley what the key issues facing elderly people in Allerdale specifically are. In response to questioning she explained that the key issues include not going into residential care unless it is their choice, and if they do chose to go into residential care the homes should be fit for purpose with the right equipment and residents must have the ability to get out and about and socialise still. It is important to make sure that extra care and sheltered housing is right. Laurence Hilland explained that with dementia, the carer support element is a key issue. Children move away and leave parents with dementia which means that isolation is a key problem. Members noted that many people retire to places such as Keswick and so don’t have the support of family to act as carers. Mary Bradley went on to explain that for extra care housing thay are trying to get a mixture of half traditional and half rental properties. A survey showed that people want to have the opportunity to sell their own house and part-buy the extra care house. Members asked what input the Alzheimer’s Society has had into the development of the proposals so far. Laurence Hilland explained that the Alzheimer’s Society was not involved in the development of the proposals however they are responding to the consultation paper. It was noted that within residential care two thirds of residents have dementia and it would be good to see recognition of that in the consultation document. Some of the challenging behaviour shown by residents in care homes can be due to environmental factors, such as the pattern on the floor covering or the colour of the walls.

  • Folk Song in Cumbria: a Distinctive Regional
    FOLK SONG IN CUMBRIA: A DISTINCTIVE REGIONAL REPERTOIRE? A dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Susan Margaret Allan, MA (Lancaster), BEd (London) University of Lancaster, November 2016 ABSTRACT One of the lacunae of traditional music scholarship in England has been the lack of systematic study of folk song and its performance in discrete geographical areas. This thesis endeavours to address this gap in knowledge for one region through a study of Cumbrian folk song and its performance over the past two hundred years. Although primarily a social history of popular culture, with some elements of ethnography and a little musicology, it is also a participant-observer study from the personal perspective of one who has performed and collected Cumbrian folk songs for some forty years. The principal task has been to research and present the folk songs known to have been published or performed in Cumbria since circa 1900, designated as the Cumbrian Folk Song Corpus: a body of 515 songs from 1010 different sources, including manuscripts, print, recordings and broadcasts. The thesis begins with the history of the best-known Cumbrian folk song, ‘D’Ye Ken John Peel’ from its date of composition around 1830 through to the late twentieth century. From this narrative the main themes of the thesis are drawn out: the problem of defining ‘folk song’, given its eclectic nature; the role of the various collectors, mediators and performers of folk songs over the years, including myself; the range of different contexts in which the songs have been performed, and by whom; the vexed questions of ‘authenticity’ and ‘invented tradition’, and the extent to which this repertoire is a distinctive regional one.

    Planning Cumbria Cumbria and Lake District Joint Structure Plan 2001 – 2016 Technical Paper 5 Landscape Character Preface to Technical Paper 5 Landscape Character 1. The Deposit Structure Plan includes a policy (Policy E33) on landscape character, while the term landscape character is also used in other policies. It is important that there is clear understanding of this term and how it is to be applied in policy terms. 2. This report has been commissioned by the County Council from CAPITA Infrastructure Consultancy in Carlisle. It is currently not endorsed by the County Council. On receipt of comments the County Council will re draft the report and then publish it as a County Council document. The final version will replace two previous publications: Technical paper No 4 (1992) on the Assessment of County Landscapes and the Cumbria Landscapes Classification (1995). 3. The report explains how landscape has been characterised in Cumbria (outside the National Parks) using landscape types and provides details of the classification into 37 landscape types and sub types. A recent review of the classification of County Landscapes (now termed Landscapes of County Importance) and their detailed boundaries are also included. 4. It should be noted that this report does not constitute Structure Plan Policy. It provides background information to enable the policy to be implemented and monitored. 5.
