Mental Health Services North East Sector Annual Report 2003/04
NorthEast Sector Annual Report 2003 – 2004 The new Arran Centre The new Easterhouse Community Health Centre – incorporating Auchinlea Resource Centre and the previous Health Centre 1 Section 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The last year within the North East sector has been another period of significant activity. In comparing the prospective developments from last year’s report, much has been achieved and this introduction will cover some of these achievements later on. Firstly though it is worth recalling that the driver for the production of Annual Reports came from what was then the Divisional Clinical Governance Committee. The North East Sector received very positive feedback when the sector report was presented to the committee last year and also by written feedback in the form of a standard evaluation report. Looking back over the past year and the targets that were set then, the following key milestones have been achieved: • Wyndford Lock Nursing Home has been closed and patients have been accommodated in alternative forms of accommodation. All staff have been redeployed to alternative posts. • A new North East addiction Unit is about to open at Stobhill which will mean that Ruchill Hospital will at last benefit from improved patient activity space and staff will have some changing facilities. It will also result in a reduction of admission beds in each ward from 30 to 24, creating much needed patient activity space at Parkhead. • A new North East IPCU will open within the next few weeks at Stobhill which will have dedicated Consultant and Staff Grade Psychiatrist cover. This will also increase the amount of much patient activity space at Parkhead Hospital. -

Executive Summary The City of Glasgow has a long tradition in the pursuit of a high quality built environment and public realm, continuing to the present day. This strategy represents the next steps in this tradition by setting out how open space should be planned, created, enhanced and managed in order to meet the priorities for Glasgow for the 21st century. This is not just an open space strategy. It is a cross‐cutting vision for delivering a high quality environment that supports economic vitality, improves the health of Glasgow’s residents, provides opportunities for low carbon movement, builds resilience to climate change, supports ecological networks and encourages community cohesion. This is because, when planned well, open space can provide multiple functions that deliver numerous social, economic and environmental benefits. Realising these benefits should be undertaken in a way that is tailored to the needs of the City. As such, this strategy examines the priorities Glasgow has set out and identifies six cross‐cutting strategic priority themes for how open space can contribute to meeting them. -

National Mental Health Services Assessment
Greater Glasgow NATIONAL MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES ASSESSMENT LOCALITY REPORT GREATER GLASGOW December 2003 Greater Glasgow Introduction The remit for the National Assessment means that the focus in the locality reports is on what needs to be done locally to deliver the new provisions of the Mental Health (Care and Treatment) (Scotland) Act 2003. With that in mind the many examples of good care seen across Scotland are not covered in the individual reports. This should not be taken as a negative. Every effort has been made to achieve consistency in each report. There are however variations in those cases where the local arrangements vary sufficiently to warrant some variety in the presentation of findings. For example not all information was available for or from each area in the same format or with the same coverage and where this is the case it is stated. The wide-ranging nature of the responsibilities that the Act places on local authorities means that it was virtually impossible to assess the services provided by them or the voluntary sector in a short timescale, although there are examples of services across Scotland in the Full Report. In no way should this be seen as devaluing the local authority contribution or minimising the additional demands placed on the Councils. The findings arising from the visits and review of existing information can only represent a snapshot in time and in many cases the local situation will now be different. However, the purpose is to provide a shared, validated information base to start from and to plan for the successful and timely implementation of the new legislation. -
