It highlighted the responsibilities of the Networks which included developing local action plans, holding local networking meetings and allocating the Health and Wellbeing small grant fund.

The Health Improvement Principal Officer provided information in relation to the future role of the Health and Wellbeing Partnership, which included information on the findings of an evaluation carried out in January 2019 as a result of falling attendance rates at partnership meetings and a lack of engagement from Community Planning partners; the merger of the working group for the Outcome 5 delivery plan with the Health and Wellbeing Partnership, which has culminated in the conclusion of the delivery plan for Outcome 5; the Health and Wellbeing priorities for 2019- 20 and connecting Outcome 5 with the four Area Community Planning Groups. Ms McGrory further advised that the annual report of Health and Wellbeing activity is published each year and will be published in June 2019 at www.healthargyllandbute.co.uk.

Discussion took place in respect of representation on the newly formed groups, with concern being expressed particularly in relation to the islands. The Chair, Mr Buntin outlined the ways in which the Mid Argyll contingents proposed to work with the new arrangements. Further concern was raised as to whether the IJB would take cognisance of unofficial Health Forums. The Health Improvement Principal Officer outlined the legislation and guidance from the Scottish Government and advised that these were Locality Planning Groups and not engagement groups. Ms McGrory further advised of the ongoing discussions taking place with the Third Sector Interface to ensure appropriate representation on the groups, and advised that representation from the three communities within the MAKI locality was being sought.

She also outlined a number of other projects and activities offered by the group, which afford people an opportunity to lead as healthy a life as possible.

(a) Islay Airport - Infrastructure and Capacity The group gave consideration to a verbal update from Niall Colthart of Highlands and Islands Airport Limited (HIAL) who advised that the airport had seen a rapid growth over the last few years, increasing from 6 to 40 staff. Mr Colthart outlined the difficulties faced by the airport in retaining staff due to a shortage of housing on the island and advised that on any given day a certain number of staff require to be on site otherwise the airport could not operate. Mr Colthart also provided information in relation to future plans to expand the airport building and destinations. He advised that in his view the option to allocate “key worker status” was important in regard to housing allocation and this was something which should be highlighted.

Discussion was had on temporary accommodation options to provide a short term solution; the need to provide a long term solution not only for the airport but also for other services on the island; the importance of the Community Housing Assessment Toolkit which can be accessed at https://www.argyll-bute.gov.uk/housing/housing-strategies-consultations-and- research-0 and the Islay Strategic Housing overview.

8. ARGYLL AND BUTE OUTCOME IMPROVEMENT PLAN 2013-2023 - OUTCOME 6 (PEOPLE LIVE IN STRONGER AND SAFER COMMUNITIES)

(a) Maritime and Coastguard Agency The Area Committee Manager advised that there had been no one available to attend this meeting, but that a written update had been provided, as outlined below:

“We currently have 3 volunteer Coastguard rescue teams across the two islands, Port Charlotte, Port Ellen and Jura (Craighouse).

All are trained in: Lost & missing person search, water safety & rescue, emergency responder casualty care and response to ordnance & abandoned pyrotechnics. In addition, Port Charlotte are trained and equipped to carry out rope (cliff) rescue. All 3 teams now have 4x4 capability following the recent issue of a vehicle to Port Ellen.

All three teams operate from their own locations and maintain their own resilience, but are now working better together as a joint response to incidents rather than isolated teams operating independently. The volunteers are also working very well alongside partner agencies on the island and engaged in the islands community emergency plans.

Over the last couple of years we have increased our capability on the islands by reviewing the distribution of volunteer numbers, increasing full time officer and training support, upgrading equipment and improving estates & vehicles.

We recently held a new start Core Skills course on Islay which uplifted our numbers across the islands, we are aiming to build on that and recruit more volunteers over the next 12 months.

The recent loss of power outage on Colonsay was a good opportunity to demonstrate the teams ability to work with others and respond to an incident outside of their normal working area. Volunteers from all 3 teams were transported by the RNLI to Colonsay to assist with communications and welfare for vulnerable people. Other recent incidents include several missing person searches alongside Police Scotland, responding alongside the RNLI to vessels in distress and a number of helicopter landing sites supporting both HMCG helicopters and SAS heli-med.”

Discussion took place in respect of representation of the Maritime and Coastguard Agency on the core membership of the group.

Decision:

The Mid Argyll, Kintyre and the Islands Area Community Planning Group requested that the Area Committee Manager:

1. extend an invitation to the Maritime and Coastguard Agency to sit Page 11

on the membership of the group; and

2. invite them to provide an update on the progress of works within the MAKI locality at a future meeting.

(b) Community Action Plans - South Islay Development Trust The group gave consideration to a presentation from Alyson MacGillivray from South Islay Development Trust outlining the development of the Community Action Plan. She advised of the need to evaluate the progress of each of the projects highlighted by the community in 2011 and the ways in which the evaluation was carried out. She spoke of the assistance the Trust received from Scottish Community Development Centre (SCDC) in facing the challenges brought about by updating the action plan. Ms MacGillivray outlined the priorities for South Islay Development Trust and how they engaged with the community to develop these. She outlined the next steps and advised that the Action Plan is a working document, which is flexible and constantly changing with the needs of the South Islay community.

Briefing Note: Community Planning Partnership Management Committee update

This briefing relates to the meeting of the Community Planning Partnership (CPP) Management Committee on 26th June 2019, and its consideration of issues raised by Area Community Planning Group Chairs. The briefing is for noting and relevant discussion.

Summary The CPP Management Committee met on the 26th June in the Council Chambers, Lochgilphead.

Area Community Planning Group chairs raised matters of concern within their local areas with the CPP Management Committee, and these matters were taken on board and actioned where relevant. A report outlined the main issues from the last set of Area Community Planning Group meetings.

Further information is available in the meetings, minutes and agendas section of: https://www.argyll-bute.gov.uk/council-and-government/community- planning-partnership

Highlights

 Paul Devlin has taken over as Chair of the CPP Management Committee and John Paterson, the new Chief Superintendent for Argyll and West Dunbartonshire, is now Vice-Chair.  The Child Poverty Action Plan was discussed and it was agreed that this fed into a number of outcome areas with partner involvement in the delivery plan.  It was agreed to incorporate case studies from the Area Community Planning Groups into the CPP Annual Report for the first time.  The mid-year population estimates have been published and show a continued decline in the population of Argyll and Bute. The Council Leader is Page 18

meeting with other west coast authorities to look at this collectively and there are conversations happening nationally to try to address this.  A presentation was given by two members of the Scottish Youth Parliament who represent Argyll and Bute. They are now part of the CPP Management Committee and will be a great asset in ensuring the voice of young people is heard at the Management Committee and that information can be disseminated to the young people of Argyll and Bute.  A presentation was given on Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs). There will be ongoing work in the area to increase the awareness of both the public and professionals of what ACEs are and the need for emotional resilience to counteract the effects of these experiences.

Matters Raised by Area Community Planning Group Chairs

The points raised from the previous meetings of the area community planning groups and the action response to these is below:

The concerns of the Mid Argyll, Kintyre and the Islands CPG in May in respect of the change to a 4 Locality Planning Group model which they feel would be of particular disadvantage to island communities.

Response: Alison McGrory, Health and Social Care Partnership, advised that the move to align the HSCP locality areas with the Council / Community Planning locality areas had been the decision of the Integrated Joint Board following consultation and a workshop with stakeholders. The new 4 area model was felt to be a better use of resource for all partners involved in the HSCP locality groups. Kirsteen Murray, Third Sector Interface, reported that it had become clear through this process that there was a misunderstanding on the remit and statutory basis for Locality Planning groups. This has been addressed by the formation of a strategic engagement advisory group which has a framework for engagement which should strengthen the engagement between communities and the Health and Social Care Partnership.

The concerns raised by Oban Lorn and the Isles CPG in May in respect of the response time of Scottish Fire and Rescue at remote location such as Dalavich. The group suggested that a volunteer fire crew or access to equipment be made available to local people to mitigate. Page 19

Response: Paul Devlin, Scottish Fire and Rescue Service, advised that there is a 35 minute minimum response time to this area. Whilst there is a national review by the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service on the placement of stations, Paul had concerns over whether a volunteer fire station was viable in this area but is happy to engage with the community further if required.

Concluding Point for Action by Area Community Planning Groups

Communicating Community Planning is a priority for the Partnership and we welcome issues raised at Area Community Planning Groups, where these cannot be resolved locally, to be highlighted to the Argyll and Bute Management Committee meetings. The next formal meeting of the Community Planning Management Committee is September 2019.

We welcome partners at Area Community Planning Groups sharing and linking to #abplace2b Instagram account of the council which has many followers and excellent images submitted by people showcasing Argyll and Bute.

Welcome to the Health and Wellbeing Annual Report. Here we highlight some of the important work we have supported and delivered to enable people to lead longer, healthier lives in Argyll and Bute throughout 2018-19.

Our work supports the ethos that people lead better lives in strong and vibrant communities and the Health and Wellbeing Networks remain our key focus. Last year we invested over £100,000 in 98 separate projects to promote physical activity and the self management of long term health conditions.

2018-19 saw a theme in our work of engaging and working with people and enabling others to do this to ensure services are responsive to local people’s needs.

One area this was particularly successful was developing a strategy to support people to manage their long term health. Look out for the new Living Well in Argyll and Bute Strategy coming in the second half of 2019.

While the media focuses on the poor health of Scots, we have much to celebrate. People live longer in Argyll and Bute than they do in more urban areas. We are very lucky to live in one of the most beautiful parts of Scotland with hundreds of miles of the most amazing coastline. Being more physically active is a straightforward way to feel better and what better way to do that than getting out and about in Argyll and Bute.

Participatory Budgeting (PB) is about putting control for how public sector budgets are spent into the hands of local people affected by these services.

The Health and Wellbeing Networks undertook four pilot events in Oban & small isles, Helensburgh & Lomond, Islay & Jura, and Mid Argyll.

At these events bidders for Health and Wellbeing grant funding had the opportunity to pitch their bids with a short presentation in a “dragon’s den” style event. The audience then had the opportunity to vote for their favourite bids and the scores shaped how the grant fund was shared out.

The aim of these events was to involve the local community in the award process for the grant funding.

A wide range of people not usually involved with the Health and Wellbeing networks attended and they reported that PB was a fun, inclusive and interactive way of allocating grant funding.

There was some key learning identified about the process which will be considered and used to support any future Participatory Budgeting events.

Review of Health Behaviour Change Training Encouraging and supporting behaviour change should play a vital role in improving health and wellbeing in Argyll and Bute. We are currently reviewing the Health Behaviour Change training provided by the Public Health team, in order to develop an updated training model that takes into account new training programmes, guidelines, strategies and the specific needs of Argyll and Bute such as our remote and rural geography. We hope to implement this new model over the coming year.

Healthy Working Lives (HWL) Award There are currently 26 HWL Awards held in Argyll and Bute: 15 Gold, 3 silver and 8 Bronze Awards. These organisations vary significantly in size and come from all sectors. Within Argyll and Bute HSCP all 7 NHS and Argyll and Bute Council sites have achieved a HWL Award.

Engagement The Public Health team led the development of a Strategic Engagement Framework and process to improve how we engage with our communities and partners across at all levels of the organisation. The team will support the development of Conversations Cafes across Argyll and Bute.

Argyll and Bute Joint British Sign Language (BSL) Plan The BSL Action Plan created from combining plans from the Council (including Education), Live A rgyll and NHS is to be combined into one joint action plan. Consultation was undertaken in partnership, working together to ensure the needs of BSL users and their families in Argyll & Bute are truly represented. Copies of the Action Plan are available in written English and BSL: https://www.argyll-bute.gov.uk/joint-british-sign-language-plan-argyll-and-bute

Data Analysis for Strategic Priorities Public Health data is routinely requested to support strategic priorities and planning. A recent example has been the profiling of children and young people in Argyll and Bute. This identified key strategic priorities. Future work will include a more comprehensive needs assessment to be carried out in 2019.

16 Page 47

Social Prescribing and Signposting A scoping exercise by the Health Improvement Team has been carried out linked to the primary care transformation work-stream as part of the new GP contract. The recommendations from this report will help to shape the social prescribing/link worker aspect of the GP contract. Additional work has been carried out reviewing services which have been added to the new National Scotland Services directory, which are now live and available through NHS Inform.

Surveys 12 requests for surveys to be carried out with reports compiled on the data collected. These range from the future of GP service in Kintyre, Strategic Plan Engagement process, type 2 diabetes early detection, to the Health and Wellbeing Partnership evaluation. These requests support the HSCP to valuate/review services, and/or support consultation.

Screening Engagement This is a new role and focuses on engagement in communities and organisations to encourage and increase uptake of the 4 screening programmes available in Argyll and Bute – Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA), Bowel, Breast and Cervical Screening. Although screening cannot diagnose cancer/conditions it highlights potential risks which allows for earlier diagnosis. AAA screening test – available to men in their 65th year via ultrasound therefore non-invasive and the results are immediate – AAA is often symptom free so screening is essential for early diagnosis. 1 in 20 men in Scotland have an AAA.

Cool2Talk The Cool2talk service is aimed at young people aged 12 to 26. Cool2Talk aims to improve access to local and national services, access to health information and encouraging people to be able to openly discuss issues around their health and well being.The service has local support workers who monitor and respond to young people’s health queries online, giving a personalised service with local support and information.

Heartstart We commission the Heartstart service through an SLA with Greater Glasgow and Clyde (GG&C). This service trains pupils and teachers in primary and secondary Schools and local community groups to carry out cardiac resuscitation and use community defibrillators across Argyll and Bute. Heartstart also works with community groups and volunteer trainers that are able to support training within their local community.

Dr. Jennifer Lane Lee Planning Group, Carradale Community Trust

The Carradale Community Trust (CCT) is a development charity that aims to advance the regeneration of our area and to provide facilities for community benefit. We have taken on the task of preparing the 2020-2024 East Kintyre Local Development Plan. I have come here today to inform you of our progress, but also to ask you for your active engagement in helping us to bring this plan to fruition.

East Kintyre has not fared very well since the inception of the last local development plan in 2012 (http://eastkintyrecc.org/resources/EastKintyrePlan.pdf). Our population is aging, and permanent residences are inexorably becoming second homes. The lure of our area as an oasis of calm in an overstressed modern era is turning into a worry: the last permanent shop closed in August 2018, the last working harbour is in a progressive state of dereliction, communication facilities are patchy and our infrastructure is in need of repair. We are in serious danger of declining from a quiet oasis into a forgotten desert.

Our 2020-2024 East Kintyre Local Development Plan seeks to not just halt, but to reverse this decline. Rather than being a wish list, our plan will be focussed on realistic targets, which we have begun to pursue ourselves via support from within our own community. Through our ongoing Visitor & Resident’s Survey (www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/Carradale), we have identified numerous initial categories for development, including:

 creating a permanent local shop  renovating the harbour and developing it as a community asset  improving transportation links  retaining local GP services  improving community communications  recording and promoting our heritage  improving local services and facilities  meeting the needs of hard to reach groups  planning for affordable housing  supporting schools and adult further education

Under the auspices of the CCT, our community has already demonstrated its commitment to halt the decline of Carradale. We have established a temporary shop that is staffed and managed entirely by volunteers; we are creating the local development plan; we are running the self-funded Visitor and Resident Survey - and we are actively working to obtain the funds we need to achieve our objectives.

Accordingly, we know that our LDP must be more than a list of worthy objectives. We will require transformative projects that will provide a lasting legacy for East Kintyre - and that will convince our residents that the decline in our fortunes has really been stemmed. The CCT believes that this can be done by focussing our initial development efforts on crucial public spaces: reviving our village shop, reclaiming our harbour and renovating our cafe. We also want to create new spaces for visitors and residents: a micro-brewery and integrated, public spaces celebrating local crafts, culture, literature and history. Page 52

The Scottish Government devolved development planning down to the level where it matters - our communities. We are here to ask you to partner with us in that planning process. We ask that Argyll & Bute pro-actively give us all of the support available in order that our 2020-2024 East Kintyre Local Development Plan is “planning for real”.
