  • Primary Care Committee 19
    PRIMARY CARE COMMITTEE 19 September 2016 New model of care consultation report 1. Introduction 1.1. A comprehensive twelve week consultation was undertaken between April and July 2016 on a proposed new model of primary care in East Lancashire. 1.2. The consultation achieved extensive publicity and was widely promoted in the area. 1.3. An online survey was supported with a distribution of 13,000 paper questionnaires and pre-paid envelopes to the 58 GP practices and patient and public interest groups. 1.4. The promotion of the survey was backed up with press and radio coverage, advertising, and the extensive use of social media. 1.5. In addition, a programme of presentations, meetings and face to face engagement was undertaken to enable patients, members of the public and other stakeholders to consider the proposals and respond to the consultation. 1.6. We engaged with patients at 16 drop-in face to face meetings. We were privileged to be able to present our proposals and hear views at over 30 different meetings. We engaged in online discussions on Facebook and Twitter, encouraging comment whilst hopefully maintaining a neutral yet positive stance. 1.7. We were delighted to receive 2,129 responses to the consultation, and within these responses, many detailed comments which we have given consideration to. 1.8. We are truly grateful for the level of engagement and the responses people have given. This report sets out our reflections regarding the feedback and proposes how we will consider further the responses moving forward. 2. Approach 2.1.

  • GMG Radio Response to the Ofcom Consultation on Review of Procedures for Handling Broadcasting Complaints, Investigations and Sanctions
    GMG Radio response to the Ofcom consultation on review of procedures for handling broadcasting complaints, investigations and sanctions Introduction GMG Radio plc is part of The Guardian Media Group and operates fourteen analogue licences within the UK under the separate Real, Smooth and Rock Radio brands. The company was an inaugural partner and is currently a 35% shareholder in the MXR regional multiplex consortium as well as being a long-term service provider on each of its platforms. GMG Radio is also a founding partner and stakeholder in Digital Radio UK, the body charged with helping prepare the UK for digital switchover. GMG Radio considers regulatory compliance to be a hugely important and crucial element to our overall business operation and welcomes proposals which are genuinely designed to assist in improving standards and enhance understanding of regulatory procedures. We note this consultation seeks stakeholder views on proposed changes to procedures as opposed to responses to specific questions. Current understanding Ofcom has no wish to dilute the current process by which it can diligently follow when investigating breaches of broadcast licences, investigating complaints including those on fairness and privacy issues and the consideration of statutory sanctions for proven breaches. As such this consultation is specifically placed within the public arena in order to enlist stakeholder opinions on planned changes which are ultimately designed to ensure an ongoing commitment to the principles of continued fairness to those directly involved and at the same time introduce new procedures which are clearer, simpler and can be implemented as effectively and efficiently as possible. The consultation documents sets out proposals for new procedures covering the handling of broadcasting complaints, investigations and sanctions and it invites written views and comments on each of them prior to the publishing of a finalized version.

  • Reality, Realism and Fantasy: a Study of Ray's Children's Fiction Hirak
    Reality, Realism and Fantasy: A Study of Ray’s Children’s fiction Hirak Rajar Deshe Arpita Sarker Research Scholar (M.Phil.) University of Delhi India Abstract In my paper I intend to first explain different form of realism by discussing Ian Watt‟s definition of realism, in The Rise of The Novel comparing and contrasting it with Brecht and Luckas‟s idea of realism as explained in Bertolt Brecht: Against George Luckas. Secondly I will discuss in brief the difference between reality and realism in a work of fiction. Thirdly, I will talk about the portrayal of reality and realism in children‟s literature, using socialist realism and Brecht‟s view on it. In order to discuss third part of my paper I will analyze film maker Satyajit Ray and his socialist- realist- fantasy film Hirak Rajar Deshe. The movie is adapted from Ray‟s father‟s collection of work for children name Goopy Gayen and Bagha Bayen. Keywords: Fantasy, Reality, Realism, Socialism, Brecht. www.ijellh.com 50 Children‟s literature is a genre that is vastly dependent on fantastic elements that make it appealing to children and adults. The fantastic elements, on the surface, act as a model for psychologically cushioning that protects the child from the harsh realities of life and bestow moral messages to the masses. But the fantastical element alone cannot reveal the social, political, or moral message the fiction intends to spread. The fantasy element is hence paradoxical complicated by the presence of realism in Children‟s Literature. The use of realism, in the façade of fantasy, and larger than life characters, has helped writers to adhere to the real intention of children‟s literature.
