Cefndir / Background This Report provides the opportunity to present items to the Board to demonstrate areas of work that are being progressed and achievements that are being made, which may not be subject to prior consideration by a Committee of the Board, or may not be directly reported to the Board through Board reports. Asesiad / Assessment 1. Register of Sealings The UHB’s Common Seal has been applied to legal documents and a record of the sealing of these documents has been entered into the Register kept for this purpose. The entries at Appendix A have been signed by the Chair and Chief Executive or the Deputy Chief Executive (in the absence of the Chief Executive) on behalf of the Board (Section 8 of the UHB’s Standing Orders refers). Page 1 of 6 2. Consultations The UHB receives consultation documents from a number of external organisations. It is important that the UHB considers the impact of the proposals contained within these consultations against its own strategic plans, and ensures that an appropriate corporate response is provided to highlight any issues which could potentially impact upon the organisation. A status report for Consultation Documents received and responded to is detailed at Appendix B, should any Board Member wish to contribute. 3. Strategic Issues The following information is to update and advise Members of recent strategic issues affecting the UHB and NHS Wales: Update on Health Board’s Targeted Intervention Status Members of the Executive Team and I meet with the Chief Executive NHS Wales and members of his senior team in Welsh Government (WG), on a monthly basis. Meetings continue to review progress against the issues which raised our escalation level to Targeted Intervention (TI), with the most recent meetings taking place on 22 January 2018 and 6 March 2018. We are continuing to work with Welsh Government colleagues to address the long standing challenges we have been facing and see the escalation process as a helpful support mechanism to make progress. Members are advised that the UHB is publishing Deloitte’s Zero Based Review of Hywel Dda UHB (the Review) (Appendix C) (August 2017). This Review was commissioned by WG (the Owner) as part of TI, to undertake a zero based review of acute healthcare services provided by the UHB. Its purpose was to allow WG to understand the potential impact of the UHB’s current configuration and resources that limited its ability to produce an approved Integrated Medium Term Plan (IMTP). These included sustaining services on four (4) hospital sites; the challenging environment and its impact on recruitment and retention; an older and frailer population; and our current resource allocation. Deloitte LLP worked with both WG and the UHB on the evidence base underpinning the Review, and the final document has been formally accepted by WG. Any discussion/action resulting from the Review is being addressed through the TI meetings. Deloitte LLP shared the Report with the UHB for information purposes only, and it has been published on that basis. Area Planning Board for Drug and Alcohol Misuse: Memorandum of Understanding and Risk Sharing Agreement On 14 March 2018, the Chair and I signed the Area Planning Board for Drug and Alcohol Misuse Memorandum of Understanding and Risk Sharing Agreement. This is a formal, legally binding Agreement to work collaboratively and in partnership to address drug and alcohol misuse with our statutory responsible partners, who include: Ceredigion County Council, Carmarthenshire County Council, Pembrokeshire County Council, Dyfed Powys Police, the National Probation Service and the Police and Crime Commissioner. The Area Planning Board (APB) is embarking on an exciting new stage of development with a new Chair (Ros Jervis, Director of Public Health) and Vice Chair (Claire Parmenter, Dyfed Powys Police). The APB has planned a series of workshops over the next few months to refresh its vision for actions to improve outcomes for individuals within our communities. These workshops will be facilitated by the Institute of Public Care, and will involve service users, carers, commissioners and providers across statutory and third sector organisations, working collectively to co- produce plans across prevention, early intervention, treatment, family support, community safety and availability.

  • Why “Whiteland?” Why Exton?
    Why “Whiteland?” Until 1765, East and West Whiteland Townships were a single township called Whiteland. Whiteland was the western edge of the Welsh Tract, an area of more than 40,000 acres that William Penn sold to an association of wealthy Welsh Quakers in 1684. One likely source of the name “Whiteland” is the Welsh village of “Whitland” – no “e” – in Carmarthenshire County. Settlements near Whitland include Haverford and Narberth, also the namesakes of towns in our region. Whitland was the site of the first Welsh parliament convened by Hywel the Good. According to Whitland’s website: “Hywel Dda was a Prince of Deheubarth, (the ancient region containing Whitland) who became eventual ruler of most of Wales through inheritance. He is noted in history as being responsible for codifying the laws of Wales, laws which stood for nearly 400 years until Henry VIII combined them with those of England. The “Dda” in Hywel's name means “good”, indeed his laws were considered forward thinking and fair, with emphasis on common sense and rights for women and compassion rather than punishment.” Another guess is that the name derived from the frequent views of fog in our valley. The Chester Valley (or Great Valley) is a prominent feature of both East and West Whiteland. When weather conditions are right, the valley is filled with fog and the land does indeed appear to be white. Why Exton? There also is no clear origin of the name “Exton.” Some claim it’s from the crossroads of Lincoln Highway and Pottstown Pike or from the “X” formed by the crossing of the former Chester Valley Railroad (now Chester Valley Trail) over Lincoln Highway, with one or both crossings inspiring “X-town” or Exton.

  • Welsh Kings at Anglo-Saxon Royal Assemblies (928–55) Simon Keynes
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Apollo Keynes The Henry Loyn Memorial Lecture for 2008 Welsh kings at Anglo-Saxon royal assemblies (928–55) Simon Keynes A volume containing the collected papers of Henry Loyn was published in 1992, five years after his retirement in 1987.1 A memoir of his academic career, written by Nicholas Brooks, was published by the British Academy in 2003.2 When reminded in this way of a contribution to Anglo-Saxon and Anglo-Norman studies sustained over a period of 50 years, and on learning at the same time of Henry’s outstanding service to the academic communities in Cardiff, London, and elsewhere, one can but stand back in awe. I was never taught by Henry, but encountered him at critical moments—first as the external examiner of my PhD thesis, in 1977, and then at conferences or meetings for twenty years thereafter. Henry was renowned not only for the authority and crystal clarity of his published works, but also as the kind of speaker who could always be relied upon to bring a semblance of order and direction to any proceedings—whether introducing a conference, setting out the issues in a way which made one feel that it all mattered, and that we stood together at the cutting edge of intellectual endeavour; or concluding a conference, artfully drawing together the scattered threads and making it appear as if we’d been following a plan, and might even have reached a conclusion. First place at a conference in the 1970s and 1980s was known as the ‘Henry Loyn slot’, and was normally occupied by Henry Loyn himself; but once, at the British Museum, he was for some reason not able to do it, and I was prevailed upon to do it in his place.

  • A Group of Tenth-Century Coins Found at Mont-Saint-Michel
    A GROUP OF TENTH-CENTURY COINS FOUND AT MONT-SAINT-MICHEL MICHAEL DOLLEY AND JACQUES YVON THE purpose of this paper is to put on record a little group of English and allied coins that seems to us to possess quite extraordinary significance where students of the tenth-century English and French coinages are concerned. Our attention first was drawn to them in 1966 in connection with preparations at Mont-Saint-Michel in Brittany for the public celebration of the millennium of the great Benedictine house, and it is hard to believe that coins of such importance as those, with which we are here concerned, could have come to light perhaps as much as a century ago, and then lain for all these years unnoticed and unsung in a showcase in the abbey's museum. There can be little doubt, though, that the six silver pennies were found before 1913 and possibly as early as 1875 at some point within the precincts of the abbey church, and it is unfortunate that we have today no more exact provenance (see Appendix A). Found between the same dates, but by no means necessarily in the same general context since the works over the period as a whole were very extensive, were five other coins that can be referred to the tenth and eleventh centuries, three of them being Rouen deniers of Saint-Ouen (Prou 394 and 394A) which M. Jean Lafaurie would date, we understand, perhaps a whole quarter of a century later than the English and related pieces that are the subject of this paper, and two deniers that can be assigned to the time of Eudes of Penthievre and so belong very much later still.

  • Judgement Under the Law of Wales
    05 Smith SC39 18/1/06 1:26 pm Page 63 STUDIA CELTICA, XXXIX (2005), 63–103 Judgement under the Law of Wales J. BEVERLEY SMITH Aberystwyth Tres diversi iudices sunt in Kambria secundum legem Howel Da: scilicet, iudex curie principalis per servitoriam, id est, swyt, cum rege semper de Dinewr vel Aberffraw; et unus solus iudex kymwd vel cantreff per swyt in qualibet curia de placitis in Gwynet et Powys; et iudex per dignitatem terre in qualibet curia kymwd vel cantref de Deheubarth, scilicet, quisque possessor terre. In its discussion of judges in Wales and the means by which judgements were given in court the text of Bodleian Rawlinson MS C821, Latin D, makes a distinction between three kinds of judges.1 The first was the judge (iudex) of each of the principal courts of Dinefwr and Aberffraw, who judged by virtue of office; second, there were judges (iudices) by virtue of office in the court of law of each commote or cantref in Gwynedd and Powys; and, third, there were judges (iudices) by privilege of land in each court of a commote or cantref in Deheubarth, namely every possessor of land.2 Judgements were distinguished in the same way, namely those of the king’s court, those of a judge by virtue of office in each commote or cantref in Gwynedd or Powys, and those of a judge not by virtue of office but by privilege of land in Deheubarth.3 The judge first identified in these passages, the judge of the court (ynad llys, brawdwr llys or iudex curie), looms large in the legal liter- ature as one of the principal officers of the king’s household, but the functions of his office, which have been examined elsewhere, stand apart from the subject matter of the present work and will not be noticed further.4 This study is concerned rather with the implications of the clear differentiation made in the text of Latin D between two species of judge and two forms of judgement that could be recognized in the courts of the princes’ territories, one associated with the courts of Gwynedd and Powys and the other with those of Deheubarth.

  • The Celtic Names of Dinckley and Sankey in Lancashire
    The Celtic Names of Dinckley and Sankey in Lancashire Andrew Breeze Dinckley is in Lancashire; so was Sankey Brook until local govern­ ment reform in 1974 divided it between Lancashire and Cheshire. Both have Celtic names of obscure origin. This note suggests etymologies for them, perhaps shedding light on the region’s landscape and society before the Anglo-Saxon occupation.1 Dinckley, near Blackburn Dinckley (SD 6836) is a small parish (about a mile square) with no village, on the south side of the Ribble five miles north of Blackburn. It is recorded as Dunkythele and Dinkedelay in 1246 and Dinkedelegh in 1257, forms explained as perhaps from Celtic din ‘fort’ and coed ‘wood’ (meaning ‘fort by a wood’) plus Old English leah ‘wood’.2 But what follows challenges this, suggesting another interpretation. There is no problem here with Celtic din ‘fort’. Yet the rest of the name is hardly Celtic coed ‘wood’ + English leah ‘wood’, as this does not explain the final e in the second element -kythe-, -kede-, and -kede-. So much was pointed out by the anonymous referee of this paper’s first draft. He or she thus suggested a parallel between -kythele and Kidwelly ‘land of Cadwal’ in Carmarthenshire (though admitting that the absence of w in the Lancashire name is 1 The author records his warm appreciation of the comments of an anonymous referee on an earlier version of this paper. 2 Eilert Ekwall, The concise Oxford dictionary of English place-names (4th edn, Oxford, i960), p. 145; Richard Coates and Andrew Breeze, Celtic voices, English places (Stamford, 2000), pp.
