    1 The NAO’s work on HM Treasury A ShoRT GUIDE The NAO’s work on HM Treasury June 2010 2 The NAO’s work on HM Treasury Our vision is to help the nation spend wisely. We apply the unique perspective of public audit to help Parliament and government drive lasting improvement in public services. The National Audit Office scrutinises public spending on behalf of Parliament. The Comptroller and Auditor General, Amyas Morse, is an Officer of the House of Commons. He is the head of the National Audit Office which employs some 900 staff. He and the National Audit Office are totally independent of Government. He certifies the accounts of all Government departments and a wide range of other public sector bodies; and he has statutory authority to report to Parliament on the economy, efficiency and effectiveness with which departments and other bodies have used their resources. Our work leads to savings and other efficiency gains worth many millions of pounds: £890 million in 2009-10.

  • Global Dialogue on Care: Agenda and Participants
    World Dementia Leading the Global Action Council Against Dementia Global dialogue on care: Agenda and participants The dementia landscape project 5 February 2021 Organized in partnership with Welcome We are delighted you are able to join us at the virtual World Dementia Council care workshop on 5 February 2021. The world’s first G8 dementia summit was held in 2013 in London, where the international community of top scientists in the field, advocates, industry, researchers of, and providers in, the care sector, and governments committed to improve the lives of people with dementia through research and the develop of treatments, better care, increasing awareness and promoting risk reduction. According to the World Health Organization, around 50 million people have dementia worldwide and the global societal cost of dementia was estimated to be approaching $1 billion. Everyone today living with dementia does need, or will need as their dementia develops, access to care and support. And much of the cost of dementia is the direct and indirect costs associated with care. We hope this decade brings disease modifying treatments that slow the progression of Alzheimer’s and other form of dementia. The first treatments are, perhaps, tantalisingly close. But even when we have the first treatments people with dementia will continue to need care and support until, in the years ahead, until we have disease modifying treatments that can effectively stop the develop of the disease. It is not just that today there are millions of people needing care; until we defeat dementia, in the years ahead there will be millions more.

  • Who We Are and What We Do
    Ayrshire Valuation Joint Board Serving: East Ayrshire, North Ayrshire and South Ayrshire Assessor and Electoral Registration Officer 9 Wellington Square, Ayr, KA7 1HL Who we are and what we do (March 2016) Page 1 of 7 Introduction Ayrshire Valuation Joint Board was established by the Valuation Joint Boards (Scotland) Order 1995 to carry out the valuation functions of East Ayrshire, North Ayrshire and South Ayrshire Councils. It came into existence on 1st April, 1996 and was also given the responsibility of carrying out Electoral Registration on behalf of the three constituent authorities. The composition of the membership of the Board is determined by the above Order and consists of 5 Councillors representing East Ayrshire Council, 6 Councillors representing North Ayrshire Council and 5 Councillors representing South Ayrshire Council. In order to carry out the valuation and registration functions, the Joint Board is required by law to appoint an Assessor who is an independent statutory official and who will also be a Chartered Surveyor. The Assessor has also been appointed by the three constituent councils as Electoral Registration Officer. In pursuit of these duties the Assessor and Electoral Registration Officer is answerable to the Courts in terms of valuation or registration decisions. The Joint Board, through the office of the Assessor and Electoral Registration Officer and her staff, carry out three main functions: 1. To produce and maintain the Valuation Roll which sets out the rateable values of all “lands and heritages” (except where excluded by statute) for rating purposes. 2. To prepare and maintain the Register of Electors. 3. To produce and maintain the Valuation List which sets out the banding of all dwellings for Council Tax.

  • Using Local Knowledge Graph Construction to Scale Seq2seq Models to Multi-Document Inputs
    Using Local Knowledge Graph Construction to Scale Seq2Seq Models to Multi-Document Inputs Angela Fan Claire Gardent Chloe´ Braud Antoine Bordes FAIR / LORIA CNRS / LORIA CNRS / LORIA FAIR angelafan,[email protected] claire.gardent,[email protected] Abstract Query-based open-domain NLP tasks require information synthesis from long and diverse web results. Current approaches extrac- tively select portions of web text as input to Sequence-to-Sequence models using meth- ods such as TF-IDF ranking. We propose constructing a local graph structured knowl- edge base for each query, which compresses the web search information and reduces re- dundancy. We show that by linearizing the graph into a structured input sequence, models can encode the graph representations within a standard Sequence-to-Sequence setting. For two generative tasks with very long text in- put, long-form question answering and multi- document summarization, feeding graph rep- resentations as input can achieve better perfor- mance than using retrieved text portions. 1 Introduction Effective information synthesis is at the core of many Natural Language Processing applica- Figure 1: Multi-Document Input to Linearized Graph tions, such as open-domain question answering Multi-document input resulting from web search queries are converted to a graph structured knowledge base using coref- and multi-document summarization.
