    Miles Platting, Newton Heath, Moston & City Centre Neighbourhood

    Miles Platting, Newton Heath, Moston & City Centre Neighbourhood Health & Social Care Profile Miles Platting, Newton Heath, Moston & City Centre - Health & Social Care Cohort Profile December 2019 Page 1 Introduction to MHCC Neighbourhood & Cohort Profile Reports The Locality Plan developed by Health & Social Care commissioners in Manchester sets an ambition that those sections of the population most at risk of needing care will have access to more proactive care, available in their local communities. The key transformation is the establishment of 12 Integrated Neighbourhood Teams across the City based on geographical area as opposed to organisation. The teams focus on the place and people that they serve, centred around the ethos that ‘The best bed is your own bed’ wherever possible and care should be closer to home rather than delivered within a hospital or care home. The ambition of this model is to place primary care (GP) services at the heart of an integrated neighbourhood model of care in which they are co-located with community teams. These teams could include Community Pharmacists, Allied Health Professionals (AHPs), Community Nursing, Social Care Officers, Intermediate Care teams, Leisure and health promotion teams, Ambulance teams and 3rd sector teams, with a link to educational and employment teams. All services are based upon a 12/3/1 model of provision, where most services should be delivered at the neighbourhood* level (12) unless they require economies of scale at a specialist local level (3), or a single City-wide level

    Manchester City Council Report for Resolution Report to: Executive - 11 September 2019 Subject: HS2 Design Refinement Consultation Response Report of: Strategic Director – Growth and Development Summary This report informs the Executive of a Design Refinement Consultation (DRC) held by HS2 Ltd. with a specific focus on the proposals within Manchester. The consultation seeks views on proposed refinements to the Phase 2b line of route (from Crewe to Manchester and West Midlands to Leeds). This report summarises the changes in the HS2 design, which mainly concern the location of two of the ventilation shafts on the route from Manchester Airport to Manchester Piccadilly. It also provides the Executive with an overview of the City Council’s response submitted to the consultation. The full response is attached at Appendix 1 and should be read in conjunction with this report. Recommendations The Executive is recommended to: 1. Note the proposed refinements in Manchester in the HS2 Design Refinement Consultation; and 2. Note the City Council’s submission of a response to the consultation. Wards Affected Ardwick, Burnage, Didsbury East, Didsbury West, Fallowfield, Levenshulme, Northenden, Piccadilly, Rusholme, and Woodhouse Park. Manchester Strategy outcomes Summary of the contribution to the strategy A thriving and sustainable city: A high-speed line between Manchester, the West supporting a diverse and Midlands and London, and improved rail distinctive economy that creates connections in the North of England (as proposed jobs and opportunities by Transport for the North through Northern Powerhouse Rail (NPR)) will support business development in the region.

    Towards an Age-Friendly Wythenshawe – a Partnership Approach to Developing the Wythenshawe Age-Friendly Charter

    Case Study 63 Towards an Age-friendly Wythenshawe – a partnership approach to developing the Wythenshawe Age-friendly Charter This paper is based on a presentation given at the Age-friendly Manchester launch in October 2012. Reproduced for the Housing Learning & Improvement Network by kind permission of Willow Park and Parkway Green Housing Trusts February 2013 © Housing Learning & Improvement Network www.housinglin.org.uk Introduction Work to develop the Age-friendly Wythenshawe Charter was led by the two major Housing Providers in Wythenshawe, Parkway Green and Willow Park. It was prompted by the development of their Ageing Strategies and informed by conversations with tenants. It has now seen a wide range of new partners sign up and commit to embracing the principles of age-friendliness. Manchester’s Valuing Older People (VOP) programme was established in 2003. Since then, the scope and stature of the programme has seen Manchester gain national and international recognition as a leading age-friendly Local Authority. This culminated with the city becoming the first UK member of the World Health Organisation’s Global Network of Age-friendly cities in 2010, and achieving WHO Age-friendly City status in 2012. “Manchester has established itself at an international level as a leading authority in developing one of the most comprehensive strategic programmes on ageing.” John Beard, Director of the Department of Ageing and the Life Course, World Health Organisation Background Life expectancy is increasing at the rate of over two years per decade, and the percentage of the population over 65 years is projected to double over the next forty years.
