  • Best Value Assurance Report: South Lanarkshire Council | 3
    Best Value Assurance Report South Lanarkshire Council Prepared by Audit Scotland March 2019 The Accounts Commission The Accounts Commission is the public spending watchdog for local government. We hold councils in Scotland to account and help them improve. We operate impartially and independently of councils and of the Scottish Government, and we meet and report in public. We expect councils to achieve the highest standards of governance and financial stewardship, and value for money in how they use their resources and provide their services. Our work includes: • securing and acting upon the external audit of Scotland’s councils and various joint boards and committees • assessing the performance of councils in relation to Best Value and community planning • carrying out national performance audits to help councils improve their services • requiring councils to publish information to help the public assess their performance. You can find out more about the work of the Accounts Commission on our website: www.audit-scotland.gov.uk/about-us/accounts-commission Audit Scotland is a statutory body set up in April 2000 under the Public Finance and Accountability (Scotland) Act 2000.

  • Holyrood Updated April 2021
    SCOTLAND’S CIVIC LINKS WITH MALAWI CONSTITUENCY MAPPING: HOLYROOD UPDATED APRIL 2021 A briefing by the Scotland Malawi Partnership on the distribution of the 1,225 Scotland-Malawi links it represents, across Holyrood regions and constituencies 0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Each year more than 109,000 Scots are involved in a civic link with Malawi. The Scotland Malawi Partnership exists as a politically neutral and non-governmental membership networking helping to coordinate, represent and support the work of 1,225 organisations and key individuals linked with Malawi across Scotland. To do this, and to maintain all-party support for its members’ work with Malawi, the Scotland Malawi Partnership helps its members connect with their local MSP and MP, and to brief MSPs and Scottish MPs on Malawi links in their constituency. Every single constituency of Scotland has a number of civic Malawi partnerships and SMP members. This latest report, updated in April 2021, gives a handful of examples of Malawi links in each of Scotland’s 73 Holyrood constituencies and 8 regions. The partnerships contained in this report are just a fraction of all the Malawi links across Scotland. Full details can be found at www.scotland-malawipartnership.org. CONTENTS Midlothian North and Musselburgh 63 All-Party Foreword 2 Mid Scotland and Fife Region: 64 SMP Members 3 Clackmannanshire and Dunblane 65 Scotland and Malawi by numbers 11 Cowdenbeath 66 Scotland’s links with Malawi 12 Dunfermline 67 Constituency by constituency: Kirkcaldy 68 Central Scotland Region: 13 Mid Fife

  • Naismith's Hamilton Directory for 1878-79
    Begbie's Pure Fluid lapesia. THE valuable properties of Magnesia have been long and uni- versally known. The use of Magnesia in the solid form has been very properly objected to, on account of its tendency to form dangerous concretions in the bowels. The introduction of the Fluid Magnesia has removed this objection, as it has been proved by eminent naedical authorities that the use of this favourite Medicine in the liquid state is not liable to produce these con- cretions. It can therefore be used with perfect safety and incal- culable benefit by anyone, and is specially adapted for Adult Females and Children. This preparation is deservedly esteemed, possessing as it does all the medicinal properties of Magnesia, with more immediate action, and being administered in a more elegant and convenient form. The continued use of Soda and Potash as antacids has been known to produce very serious results in the system. These agents can be entirely dispensed with, as the Fhiid Magnesia is a more efficient remedy, and is perfectly free from the danger of causing injurious effects.
