    AGENDA ITEM No. 16 MEETING : TRUST BOARD DATE : 29 JANUARY 2008 REPORT OF : DEPUTY CHIEF EXECUTIVE Contact : Andy Roughton Regional Director C&W Officer Tel: 01792 562929 Email: [email protected] POWYS – UPDATE REPORT Purpose 1. To inform the Board of the current position within Powys. RECOMMENDED: That the report be received. Introduction 2. The Powys locality currently operates from 12 ambulance stations and at peak times aims to roster 12 ambulance resources at any one time. Appendix A shows the levels of activity and the distribution of activity over a 91 day period. Appendix B shows the average peak activity over a 50 week period by day of the week across Powys. The columns show planned crewing levels and the red line shows the rota required taking account of a three hour job cycle. Due to the geographical size of the area, low call volumes and spread of activity throughout the locality, compliance with response standards is challenging within the current traditional ambulance service delivery model employed (Appendix A). However, the rostered level of ambulance resources is sufficient to service the current call volume (Appendix B). 3. Recruitment and retention of staff has also been a challenge in the past, leaving the region with 4 vacancies and an additional requirement for 3 vacancies to increase the relief percentage to the Trust’s target of 26%. 4. Powys has no General Hospital and therefore average job cycle times are incurred of up to 3 hours when patients are conveyed and therefore the Trust’s inability to maintain suitable cover within the locality further compromises our ability to meet response standards.

  • The Rectory Rhos Common Four Crosses Powys SY22 6RW to All
    The Rectory Rhos Common Four Crosses Powys SY22 6RW To all members of the Mission Area Conference Dear friends In his pastoral letters to the diocesan family, Bishop Gregory has written of the fact that as we come out of lockdown, we cannot simply return to life as normal. Lockdown has taught us to think about Church in a different way, and the time has come to face up decisively to challenges which have been confronting us for a long time. Attendance in the Church in Wales has halved since 1990 and decline continues at about 3% per year. A similar picture is evident in the diocese of St Asaph. The decline in attendance is particularly evident in the rural churches in the southern half of the diocese, where some of our congregations are struggling. In those cases the process of decline has placed an increased burden on a small number of people who are valiantly trying to maintain their church buildings and churchyards, often at great cost. It has also made it increasingly difficult to find people who are willing and able to take on roles of responsibility at both church and Mission Area levels. Furthermore, it has become extremely challenging to raise sufficient funds to pay for the share that helps maintain a clerical presence in each community. This situation has, of course, been made much more challenging with the spread of coronavirus: the long-term impact of which has yet to be established. To help our churches to survive this period the Church in Wales has already offered the diocese £1,000,000 to cover ministry costs for the second and third quarters.
