To meet the general requirements a Neighbourhood Plan must: Meet the requirements of certain EU directives relating to human rights and habitat protection; Be in keeping with policies that determine how UK planning decisions should be made which are set out in the National Planning Policy Framework and National Planning Policy Guidance; Be in compliance with the most important strategic policies prepared by the local planning authority, and Explain how the community and organisations have helped to prepare the Neighbourhood Plan.

  • Hertfordshire Public Health Profile Hemel Hempstead and Dacorum Health Needs Assessment FINAL DRAFT
    1 July 2016 Hertfordshire Public Health Profile Hemel Hempstead and Dacorum Health Needs Assessment FINAL DRAFT Purpose This report provides an overview of the health needs of Hemel Hempstead to help inform the commissioning of health services by NHS Herts Valleys Clinical Commissioning Group. It also gives consideration to the health of the wider Dacorum district for context. This health needs assessment (HNA) is a comparative and epidemiological assessment that has made use of available local health and population data sources. Given the short time frame this HNA has not been able to seek the views of stakeholders (such as professionals, patients, etc.) in its development. Whilst further work needs to be conducted, including stakeholder engagement, this report provides the initial context in which these issues can be explored. Authors This profile was created by James Barber (Graduate Management Trainee), with input from Claire Tiffany (Senior Public Health Analyst), David Conrad (Public Health Consultant) and Miranda Sutters (Public Health Consultant). www.hertfordshire.gov.uk 1 [email protected] Hertfordshire Public Health Profile – Hemel Hempstead and Dacorum HNA 1 July 2016 Contents Geography .................................................................................................................................................................... 3 Summary of findings and conclusions ....................................................................................................................

  • Hertfordshire Partners and Dacorum Directory of Homelessness Services
    Hertfordshire Partners and Dacorum Directory of Homelessness Services How it will work This directory of services gives details of Dacorum and, where relevant, Hertfordshire and Nationwide services available to homeless people or those at risk of homelessness. The purpose is to give all partner agencies concerned an up to date guide to the support available. This should allow all of us to signpost clients more easily and accurately. The directory begins with a grid which clusters services under their most prevalent client group, to give you an at-a-glance guide to services which different groups are eligible for. The details of each service provider are listed behind the grid in alphabetical order to make finding out more about a service or contacting them, easier. This directory of services will be at its best if it is kept up to date, and so we must rely on each other to do that; if you notice a mistake or feel a service is missing, please contact me ([email protected]). Updates Prior to the quarterly homelessness forum, Dacorum Borough Council will send a request out to all partners for any updates, changes to services, changes contact details or referral routes. Immediately following the forum the updated directory of services will be re- circulated.

Here we test the effectiveness of offering an e-cigarette with and without nicotine Smoking cessation replacement therapy (NRT) on 4–6-week quit rates in adult smokers seeking support from a community phar- Pharmacy macy. A between subject, six-week, prospective, cohort design. 115 smokers (female = 74; M age = 46.37, Nicotine replacement therapy SD = 13.56) chose either an EC, EC + NRT or NRT alone, alongside standard behavioural support. Smokers opting for an EC alone or an EC + NRT were more likely to report complete abstinence from smoking at 4–6 weeks (62.2% and 61.5% respectively) compared to NRT alone (34.8%). An EC intervention was sig- nificantly more effective for smoking cessation than NRT in this community pharmacy. The results for e-ci- garettes appear positive but with the caveat that participants chose their own products which may have in- troduced bias.
