  • Health and Social Care NITHSDALE LOCALITY REPORT March 2021
    Dumfries and Galloway Integration Joint Board Health and Social Care NITHSDALE LOCALITY REPORT March 2021 Version: DRAFT March 2021 1. General Manager’s Introduction 1.1 The COVID-19 Pandemic The past year has presented unprecedented challenges for health and social care across Dumfries and Galloway. The first 2 cases of COVID-19 in the UK were confirmed by 31 January 2020. The first positive cases in Dumfries and Galloway were identified on 16 March 2020. Following direction from the Scottish Government, in March 2020 Dumfries and Galloway Health and Social Care Partnership started their emergency response to the pandemic. Hospital wards were emptied and some cottage hospitals temporarily closed. Many planned services were stopped whilst others changed their delivery model. Many staff were redeployed to assist with anticipated high levels of demand across the Partnership. There were many issues that had to be addressed including: the supply and distribution of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) across the Health and Social Care system over 500 people’s regular care and support ‘packages’ were readjusted to respond to the needs presented by COVID-19 our relationships with care homes changed significantly we quickly kitted out a site that could be used as a temporary cottage hospital in Dumfries During the period of June to October 2020, the Partnership focused on adapting services to reflect the heightened infection prevention and control measures needed to combat COVID-19 and rapidly expanding COVID-19 testing capacity across the region. We rolled out training and technology to enable many more video and telephone consultations. We had to rethink how people could access our premises, with additional cleaning and social distancing to keep people safe.

  • Hotspots of Farm Business Diversification in Scotland
    Hotspots of farm business diversification in Scotland Jonathan Hopkins1, Carla Barlagne1, Lee-Ann Sutherland1, Keith Matthews2, Andrew Barnes3, Luiza Toma3 1Social, Economic and Geographical Sciences Group, The James Hutton Institute, Aberdeen 2Information and Computational Sciences Group, The James Hutton Institute, Aberdeen 3Land Economy and Environment Group, Scotland’s Rural College, Edinburgh On-farm wind turbine in Aberdeenshire Purpose of document This note forms an output of Research Deliverable 2.4.2 ‘How Rural Economies Can Adapt to Key External Drivers’, undertaken as part of the RESAS Strategic Research Programme (2016-2021). This work has helped to “…identify indicators of innovation and diversification”1. This note presents an analysis of questionnaire and public datasets to identify areas in Scotland where there is evidence of high levels of farm diversification activity (‘farm diversification hotspots’). The note describes the uptake of non-farming enterprises and income diversification in Scotland, focusing in particular on renewable energy projects and agri-tourism development. Key findings • Levels of diversification are high in the rural areas north of central Scotland: Argyll, Stirling, Perth and Kinross, Fife, and Angus. • Lanarkshire and Aberdeenshire have a high concentration of on-farm renewable energy schemes, in particular onshore wind projects. • Different types of renewable energy technology tend to cluster together. In addition to onshore wind schemes (found frequently in central and eastern Scotland), hydro developments are concentrated in mountainous regions and near the west coast, and solar projects have been developed in the sunnier east (e.g. Fife, Angus). • Evidence suggests that farm diversification into agri-tourism has taken place in accessible scenic regions and in areas close to population centres.
