Matters Arising from the Minute The Board noted that there were no matters arising from the minute. 1 5. FOR APPROVAL 5.1 System-Wide Remobilisation Plan The NHS Board considered a paper ‘System-Wide Remobilisation Plan’ presented by Mrs Cathie Cowan, Chief Executive. The Board noted that the Interim Chief Executive of NHS Scotland had written to all NHS Boards on 14 December 2020 commissioning the third iteration of NHS Boards’ Remobilisation plans. Mrs Cowan in presenting the System-Wide Remobilisation Plan referred to the excellent joint working and the role of partners notably Councils and the Health & Social Care Partnerships in maintaining and protecting Covid-19 capacity whilst ensuring any surge is responded to efficiently as part of the Board’s contribution to a system wide pandemic response. The Board noted the continuing strengths of NHS Forth Valleys Test & Protect response, Infection Prevention & Control measures, PPE availability and compliance and the infrastructure to support the roll out of the vaccination programme. In addition, the use of technology including Near Me has helped to deliver outpatient and GP appointments throughout the pandemic. Call MIA (Minor Injury Assessment) has also helped provide support and advice during the ongoing redesign of urgent care services to ensure patients receive the right care in the right place. Supporting elective care in line with the clinical prioritisation framework continues. Mrs Cowan referred to the work of Directors including the Chief Officers in supporting the recovery, remobilisation and redesign of services and acknowledged and thanked the System Leadership Team members for their contribution and commitment to delivering an integrated whole system response including supporting care homes. Staff wellbeing remains a key priority and the Director of Human Resources has provided Board updates on the approach adopted. To date this joint approach has been supported and informed by staff side representatives. Innovation and integration remain a key priority currently and in going forward to ensure our Covid-19 related innovations are sustained. Inequalities will continue to influence the Board’s decision-making including our ‘anchor’ response and how this will inform community wealth building commitment to deliver better outcomes. Mrs Cowan informed the Board that a financial update plan will be provided by the Director of Finance to ensure the Board delivers sustainable and value for money responses. The Board discussed the plan and in seeking assurance was satisfied by the Board’s capacity to support recovery and remobilisation of services. The Board approved the draft report and requested an update plan to be delivered September 2021. The Forth Valley NHS Board: • Noted the final draft submission of the Forth Valle System-Wide Remobilisation Plan April 2021 to March 2022 was made to Scottish Government on 4 March 2021 2 • Noted the formal response received from Scottish Government on 2 April 2021 • Considered the draft NHS Forth Valley System-Wide Remobilisation Plan April 2021 to March 2022 • Approved the Draft NHS Forth Valley System-Wide Remobilisation Plan April 2021 to March 2022 • Requested an updated Plan in September 2021 5.2 Remobilise, Recover, Redesign – Investing in Health Care The NHS Board considered a paper ‘Remobilise, Recover, Redesign – Investing in Health & Care’ presented by Mrs Cathie Cowan, Chief Executive. Mrs Cowan provided an overview of proposed investments and a commitment to refresh the Healthcare Strategy during 2021/2022. The Board acknowledged that the proposed service redesign and investments aligned with the Board’s strategic risks and towards the recovery and remobilisation of services whilst supporting quality improvement and delivering better value for money and more sustainable solutions. Mrs Cowan confirmed that a timetable to inform a refresh of the Board’s Healthcare Strategy would take account of national and regional policy direction and local Integration Authorities Strategic Commissioning Plans and Directions. In refreshing the strategy there would be an intention to invite people, partners, and staff to get involved in shaping a future ‘Health & Wellbeing Strategy’ that takes account of some key principles, notably: • Good health and wellbeing for our population throughout their lives • Improving the health status for people currently disadvantaged • Greater integration as a community planning partner that builds on our achievements in health and care • Timely access to person centred, safe and effective health care informed by the ethos of realistic medicine • Active participation of people, partners, and staff to inform and influence how we develop, design, and deliver healthcare • Being a high performing healthcare system, that people can trust and have confidence in • Using our anchor institution status to influence and play our part in building a strong local economy Mrs Cowan then moved to a number of proposed new developments/investments that required Board approval. Mrs Cowan referred to a commitment to support Primary Care Improvement and the implementation of the General Medical Service Contract approved by the Government. Mrs Cowan highlighted investment to support people live and be cared for at home through an expanded hospital at home service and investment in stroke services designed to improve patient outcomes. The investment in sustainable solutions to address waiting times was also acknowledged. Mrs Cowan informed the Board that the Government manifesto commitment to invest in NHS Forth Valleys Falkirk Community Hospital was welcomed and would allow the Board with partners to support an extensive master planning response. The Board noted that the remedial work to the inpatient area would now not progress. A Business Case would now be developed informed by a ‘strategic case for change’ and a 3 ‘management case’ that would provide details of the project management and governance arrangements to support the business case process. This development would also be aligned to the Primary Care

  • Bathing Water Profile for Nairn (Central)
    Bathing Water Profile for Nairn (Central) Nairn, Scotland _____________ Current water classification https://www2.sepa.org.uk/BathingWaters/Classifications.aspx Today’s water quality forecast http://apps.sepa.org.uk/bathingwaters/Predictions.aspx _____________ Description Nairn (Central) bathing water is situated on the Moray Firth, next to the town of Nairn. It is a shallow bay, about 1 km long. Nairn is a popular seaside resort. As well as families, the beach is also popular with a variety of water sports enthusiasts, including sailors, windsurfers and kite surfers. During high and low tides the approximate distance to the water’s edge can vary from 0–160 metres. The beach slopes gently towards the water. For local tide information see: http://easytide.ukho.gov.uk/EasyTide/ Site details Local authority Highland Council Year of designation 1999 Water sampling location NH 88227 57117 Bathing water ID UKS7616037 Catchment description The catchment draining into the Nairn (Central) bathing water extends to 338 km2. The area varies in topography from high mountains in the south-west to low-lying areas along the coast. The River Nairn is the main river in the bathing water catchment. It bisects the Nairn (Central) and Nairn (East) bathing waters. Prevailing currents tend to carry fresh water from the River Nairn eastwards towards Nairn (East) bathing water. However, the river can still influence the Nairn (Central) bathing water. Land use in the River Nairn catchment is largely agricultural. There is intensively farmed arable land in the lower catchment with rough pasture and livestock farming more common further inland. Approximately 1% of the bathing water catchment is urban.

  • The Moray Aerial Survey
    THE MORAY AERIAL SURVEY Discovering the Prehistoric and proto-Historic Landscape Barri Jones, Ian Keillar and Keith Maude Moray was of significance in the history of Scotland because it was an area capable of supporting a sizeable population sufficiently remote from the Scottish lowla~s to form an alternative and independent power base. In historical times tlie crescent along the coast from Aberdeen to Inverness was to witness a series of major battles in the Roman, late Pictish, medieval and Hanoverian periods. Scotland, in historic times, could not be con­ sidered conquered until at least the Laigh of Moray had been subdued. Thus Edward I in 1303 only considered his task done when, after a period of vengeful butchery at Elgin, followed by a less bloodthirsty stay at Kinloss Abbey, he despatched a squadron of cavalry to Tain on the southern edge of the Dornoch Firth. It has generally been assumed that there may have been a considerable population based in Moray in earlier periods but the evidence for this is sketchy and only hinted at in, for example, the Pictish period where the number of previously attested settle­ ment sites is minimal in contrast to a number of stones.' Likewise, in the prehistoric period, although a few major sites are known such as North Kessock, Craig Phadraig and Burghead (the latter two certainly being in use in the Pictish period)'2 there is an almost complete absence of the evidence that one would expect in the middle and lower ends of the settlement hierarchy. There is, furthermore, a geologically related imbal­ ance in the record of survival for a variety of reasons.

    3 Review of antecedent conditions and rainfall 3.1 Introduction The following section provides an overview of the wider antecedent conditions leading up to the flood events based on available sources of information. Annual rainfall for Inverness and the two burns is approximately 750 mm. Average monthly rainfall at Inverness is shown in the Figure below. Figure 3-1: Met Office average (1971-2000) rainfall at Inverness4 3.2 Antecedent conditions July and August 2011 were wet months for much of north eastern Scotland with rainfall exceeding twice the July average in the region. Monthly rainfall totals were above average in both July and August and river levels were high. The River Ness closely approached its highest July daily flow in a 39 year data series5. Monthly rainfall totals for July were 211 mm at Culloden. This equates to over a quarter of the annual rainfall falling in July and is 400% greater than the long term July average. This is supported by the Met Office plans that shows an area of above average rainfall (>200%) for the months of July and August for the Inverness region. Specific rainfall events occurred on the 8-10 July, 16 July and the 6-7 August. The latter two lead to flooding on the Inverness East burns. River flows on the Mill Burn (recorded at the SEPA gauge at Diriebught) illustrate these 3 specific rainfall and the resulting high river flows (Figure 3-2). 4 http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/climate/uk/ns/print.html 5 CEH July Hydrological Summary for the United Kingdom.
