The key in both hospital and community-based services is to safeguard the quality of care and treatment for patients. That underpins everything we do. And as this report shows, there were some real advances last year. For example, our new service for people with wet, age-related macular degeneration (WAMD) – a common cause of blindness – was recognised as among the best in the South West.

In that time, so much has changed - the countries involved, the powers devolved, the benefits and costs of membership. People feel that the EU is heading in a direction they never signed up for. It is right to negotiate a fresh settlement in the EU that is better for Britain - and then put the result to the British people in an in-out SUPPORT THE CAMPAIGN: referendum by the end of 2017. This isn't just a www.letbritaindecide.com Conservative campaign - it's for everyone who believes that we need a different relationship with the EU and that the British people deserve SOUTH WEST MEP CANDIDATE a say. RESULTS Over the last month, Conservative members have been balloted to choose the candidates and their position on the ballot paper for next year’s European Elections. Conservatives are the only party to have backed the campaign to ‘Let Britain Decide’ in a referendum on the EU, following a renegotiation, by the end of 2017. Conservative MEPs have joined David Cameron in standing up for Britain in Europe, something Labour failed to do in over a decade in office. Grant Shapps, Conservative Party Chairman, said; “For 13 years Labour handed power to Brussels.

  • Pelvic Floor Muscles (Women)
    The pelvic floor muscles (women) Bladder and Bowel Care Service East Devon − Franklyn House, St Thomas, Exeter Tel: 01392 208478 South Devon − Newton Abbot Hospital Tel: 01626 324685 North and Mid Devon − Crown Yealm House, South Molton Tel: 01392 675336 Other formats If you need this information in another format such as audio CD, Braille, large print, high contrast, British Sign Language or translated into another language, please contact the PALS desk on 01271 314090 or at [email protected]. What and where are they? The pelvic floor muscles are at the bottom of your pelvis. They attach to the pubic bone at the front to the coccyx (tail bone) at the back. What does the pelvic floor do? The muscles of the pelvic floor work like a hammock, to support the pelvic organs (bladder, womb and bowel). The pelvic floor muscles also help close the outlets from the bladder and bowel, keeping you clean and dry. Strong pelvic floor muscles can also help increase sexual enjoyment. Leaflet number: 047 / Version number: 3 / Review due date: December 2022 1 of 4 Northern Devon Healthcare NHS Trust Why do I need to exercise my pelvic floor? All muscles need to be exercised to stay strong. The pelvic floor muscles can be weakened in several ways, e.g. • Childbirth and pregnancy • Excess weight • Chest problems causing coughs • Long term constipation • Ageing Strengthening the pelvic floor can improve bladder and bowel control, and also support the pelvic organs, helping to prevent prolapse. How do I find my pelvic floor? Sit comfortably on a firm chair and try to keep breathing normally.

On 16 June 1982 Exeter City Council initially gave us notice of their intention to seek a review of their boundaries with Last T)ovon~cnd Teignbridge districts and on 3 December 1982 formally requested us to conader 'making proposals for changes to those boundaries.. - 2. 'Aie City Council felt that the opportunity should be taken to seek a modest extension involving minor adjustments to remove physical and administrative anomalies "and to cidy up .the present boundary and' t^ake advantage of new topographical features since the M5 Motorway had been completed, '-^hey also pointed out that the boundaries of Exeter had remained unchanged following Local Government reorganisation -in 3. We noted that although the detailed views of the other two district councils and of the parishes in their areas were not available it was known that they opposed any changes. We decided that the detailed views of all the authorities involved were an essential prerequisite to our consideration of the request and that we should pursue the enquiries ourselves.

The Marine Biological Association (MBA) is a Learned Society established in 1884. The MBA has about 1000 members and runs The Laboratory in Plymouth where 60 staff work. MBA members have been at the forefront of providing scientific information to support marine environment protection, management and education and much of the scientific information that underpins decision-making about environmental protection has come from work undertaken at the Laboratory. 2. The MBA is a founder member of the Plymouth Marine Sciences Partnership, a federation of seven partners based in Plymouth all of whom tackle different aspects of marine science and technology research and training in a complementary way. General Comment on application. 3. This is a well constructed document with much in favour of the application, including general government agency support for this type of development. 4. We note that the locations have been determined in discussion with Natural England and therefore assume that appropriate searches of available data on seabed biotopes and species present have been taken into account and that none in the proposed locations are of particular marine natural heritage importance.

  • Devon County Council Case Study
    Devon SUMMARY KEYWORDS Flooding, rural communities, streams, surface water flooding, drainage, local grants. NAME OF AUTHORITY Devon County Council SERVICE AREA Community resilience BUILDING CAPACITY/TAKING ACTION Taking action SUMMARY Following severe flooding in October 2008, cost effective solutions were identified to increase local resilience to future such events. DESCRIPTION DRIVERS • October 2008 intense rainfall (177 mm in 3 hours) led to severe flooding with 350 properties affected in rural areas. A clear need to reduce and manage the risks of flooding led to a partnership project to increase resilience in East Devon. METHODS • East Devon Flood Recovery Group was set up by Devon County Council and East Devon District Council. Three of the group’s aims were to get people back in their homes following the October 2008 floods, to learn from the experience, and to working together to reduce the impacts of future events. © UK Climate Impacts Programme, 2010 • www.ukcip.org.uk • Environment Agency has an engineering input to the process – clearing blockages from storm water pipes, replacing damaged drains, carrying out surveys of key drainage systems. Also surveyed local fields and found that 60% of them had compacted soil, reducing the capacity to absorb rainfall and exacerbating runoff. OUTCOMES • Provision of a sub-soiler – machine to break up compacted soil – for use by local farmers. A total of 270 acres have now been treated. • Fund established (£35,000 total fund with grants of up to £500) to help local people buy products to protect their homes from flooding such as flood gates and air brick covers.

  • The Lace Bobbins of East Devon
    THE LACE BOBBINS OF EAST DEVON Brian Lemin East Devon Bobbins lying on a lace making pillow. I need to explain that I rescued this from near oblivion, in fact it has become a series of JPEGs for each page, which accounts for each page looking a bit different. When will I learn to take greater care of my "stuff"? It started as a booklet in Publisher, but I could not get it to open! THE LACE BOBBINS OF EAST DEVON. By Brian Lemin (May 2002) Second draft 16 June (Version 2) File name bklyjune162ndvers.doc INTRODUCTION There is a very long tradition of lace making in Honiton (pronounced Huniton in the local accent) and the area of East Devon surrounding it. Evidence from various sources indicates that lace was made in England from around 1560 and there is no reason to think that the lace industry of England at that time did not included lace made in Honiton and the sur- rounding East Devon villages. The first written record of the industry in Devon, appears on a tombstone in the Honiton churchyard. It records that a certain James Rodge, was a “bone lace seller”. The date of his death is recorded as July 17th 1617. How lace making came to England and to East Devon is the subject of some controversy and even myth. John Yallop is one of very few modern lace historians who have attempted to locate original sources of written material, and who has done academic research to substanti- ate and or deny the various theories of the introduction of lace making into England.
