This Response to the Consultation on Calderdale Metropolitan Borough This response to the consultation on Calderdale Metropolitan Borough Council’s Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment (PNA) is submitted on behalf of Community Pharmacy West Yorkshire. We are the local representative committee for all pharmacies in West Yorkshire including every community pharmacy in the area of the Health and Wellbeing Board for Calderdale. Question 1: Do you think the purpose of the PNA has been adequately explained? Yes x No Question 2: Do you think that the draft PNA provides an adequate assessment of current pharmacy provision in Yes x No Calderdale? Question 3: Do you think that the draft PNA provides an accurate overview of the pharmaceutical needs of Yes x No Calderdale’s population? Question 4: Do you think that there any gaps in service provision that are not identified in the PNA? Yes No x Question 5: Do you think there is anything else that should be taken into account when reaching conclusions about Yes No x whether current pharmacy (chemist) provision meets the needs of Calderdale’s population? Question 6: Do you agree with the PNA conclusion that there is adequate provision of essential pharmacy (chemist) Yes x No services in Calderdale? Community Pharmacy West Yorkshire is pleased to see that the draft PNA reflects our view that Calderdale has a good coverage of pharmacies. It is encouraging that stakeholders involved by Calderdale Council in writing this draft also expressed no concerns about the current number or location of pharmacies across the borough. We agree that it is the case that there are sufficient pharmacies geographically spread so that there are no gaps in provision for Necessary Services. We also agree with the sentiment expressed that there are no gaps identified in Other Relevant Services which could not be filled by existing pharmacies. Community Pharmacy West Yorkshire supports the overall content and sentiment expressed in the draft PNA but have a number of suggestions as to how it could be improved in line with the regulatory requirements. With reference to “The National Health Service (Pharmaceutical and Local Pharmaceutical Services) Regulations 2013”: Schedule 1 – Information to be contained in pharmaceutical needs assessments The draft PNA does not clearly meet Paragraph 1 and Paragraph 3 (statements of ‘Necessary services: current provision’ and ‘Other relevant services; current provision’) and is not, in our view, explicit enough when explaining the position taken on gaps in provision for these different types of service. We suggest that terminology from the regulations is used to add to the clarity of the document for one of its significant purposes; market entry. The sentiment of the draft PNA could be summarised with the following statements which we would suggest should be added to the final version “There are no current gaps in the provision of necessary services in the area of the Health and Wellbeing Board” “There are no current gaps in the provision of other relevant services in the area of the Health and Wellbeing Board” “The PNA has not identified any future needs which could not be met by pharmacies already currently on the pharmaceutical list which would form part of its commissioning intentions.” Part 2 – Pharmaceutical needs assessment Regulation 9(1). Community Pharmacy West Yorkshire also believes that all areas of Calderdale have a reasonable choice of pharmaceutical services and we are not aware of any stakeholder views to the contrary. If this is the case then this should be made clearer in the body of the PNA to help meet Regulation 9(1)(b). Regulation 9(2). We are not aware of any expected significant changes to demography, population size or changes to the health or wellbeing in the area which would mean, within the life of this PNA, that there would be a future need for additional pharmaceutical services for which there is a planned intention to commission. This seems to be supported by the PNA and we would recommend including a statement to the following effect to make this explicit: “The PNA, having regard to likely changes to the number of people requiring pharmaceutical services, the demography of the area and the risks to the health and wellbeing of people in the area, has not identified any future needs which are not already met by providers currently on the pharmaceutical list” Points of accuracy References are with regards to the draft PNA. Page 7 – The PNA introduction introduces pharmaceutical services and divides them into two bullet points at the bottom of this page (paragraph 5). Combing the core essential services provided by pharmacies in Calderdale into the description “The supply to patients of medicines and appliances that have been prescribed by a primary care clinician…” does not reflect the breadth of skill, care and attention that goes in to ensuring this is safe and high quality. This section should be expanded to encompass all of the valuable essential services provided by pharmacy teams in Calderdale. Table 7 – It is stated that there are 90 house planned for Luddenden. This should read Luddenden/foot as this is a much larger area. Page 49 – The formatting of this table makes the data hard to read. There is no commissioned MAR chart service in Calderdale so this column should be removed. .

We, the Local Government Boundary Commission for England, having carried out our initial review of the electoral arrangements for the metropolitan borough of Calderdale in accordance with the requirements of section 63 of, and Schedule 9 to, the Local Government Act 1972, present our proposals for the future electoral arrangements for that borough* 2. In accordance with the procedure laid down in section 60(1) and (2) of the 1972 Act, notice was given on 27 August 1975 that we were to undertake this review. This was incorporated in a consultation letter addressed to the Calderdale Borough Council, copies of which were circulated to West Yorkshire County Council, the Members of Parliament for the constituencies concerned and the headquarters of the main political parties. Copies were also sent to the editors of local newspapers circulating in the area and of the local government press. Notices inserted in the local press announced the start of the review and invited comments from members of the public and from interested bodies. 3. Calderdale Borough Council were invited to prepare a draft scheme of representation for our consideration.

  • Newsletter No. 71 Autumn 2007 Editorial
    NEWSLETTER NO. 71 AUTUMN 2007 EDITORIAL Welcome to the Autumn Newsletter. I hope that you all survived the very wet weather and flooding that we had in June and July. My area of South Yorkshire was particularly badly affected. Wortley Top Forge which is situated literally at the bottom of my road was flooded by the River Don and part of the miniature railway that runs round the site was washed away. When we arrived back from our holiday in Devon at the end of June we found a message on our answerphone from a neighbour who had spotted some of the carriages down stream caught on the bank. Fortunately they had been rescued by the time we got back from Devon (to a rather damp house). Thanks to hard work from the volunteers, the railway was back in operation two weeks later. Also badly flooded was Kelham Island Museum - again situated near the River Don. Photos of the flooding can be found at www.simt.co.uk. Unfortunately the museum is likely to be closed for some time while repairs are carried out and the popular annual ‘Down by the Riverside’ event celebrating the use of the waterways in Sheffield originally planned for 22 September has had to be cancelled. I attended part of the annual AIA conference which this year was held at Preston in mid August and focused on the IA of Lancashire. A full report will be included in the next Newsletter but David George, who was one of the organising committee, has sent in a report of the pre-conference seminar on Urban Regeneration and the adaptive use of industrial buildings.

  • Industrial Archaeology
    RESEARCH AGENDA INDUSTRIAL ARCHAEOLOGY by Helen Gomersall This document is one of a series designed to enable our stakeholders and all those affected by our advice and recommendations to understand the basis on which we have taken a particular view in specific cases. It is also a means by which others can check that our recommendations are justifiable in terms of the current understanding of West Yorkshire s Historic Environment, and are being consistently applied. As the document is based upon current information, it is anticipated that future discoveries and reassessments will lead to modifications. If any readers wish to comment on the content, the Advisory Service will be glad to take their views into account when developing further versions. Please contact: The West Yorkshire Archaeology Advisory Service Registry of Deeds Newstead Road tel: 01924 306797 Wakefield, WF1 2DE email: [email protected] Issue 1, June 2005 (Reviewe d: 2009) © West Yorkshire Archaeology Advisory Service, 2005 Industrial Archaeology 1 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 This paper is intended to give a brief overview of the current state of the publicly-accessible resource available for the study of Industrial Archaeology within West Yorkshire (that portion of the old West Riding which formed a Metropolitan County Council between 1972 and 1986), and to frame suggestions for further lines of directed research in the area. Within this context, the definition of Industrial Archaeology is based on the current practice of the West Yorkshire Archaeology Service Advisory Service. Industrial Archaeology is therefore defined as the study of the physical remains of all aspects of anthropogenic activity for the period 1700-1950, with an emphasis on the development and use of technology and manufacture.
