CONFLICTS OF INTEREST There were no conflicts of interest noted. 4. MINUTE FROM PREVIOUS MEETING on 22 AUGUST 2014 The Minute of the meeting on 22 August 2014 was accepted as an accurate record. The Committee: • Approved the content of the Minute of 22 August 2014. 5. MATTERS ARISING Obstetric Scanning – Mr Martin requested an update on the review of the service. Ms Tyrrell reported that the Review Group is working on a proposal to develop a model to enable CHP Midwives to carry out obstetric scanning under appropriate governance arrangements and a report will be taken to the Core Management Team in December. If agreed the Review Group will look at training and workforce requirements, with an anticipated implementation date of middle of 2016. In the interim scans will continue to be carried out by NHS Greater Glasgow & Clyde. The Committee: • Noted the update . 6. PARTNERSHIP WORKING PRESENTATION Reshaping Care for Older People (RCOP) Consultation – Long, Healthy, Active & Happy Lives The presentation given by Ms Tyrrell has been developed as part of the work of Reshaping Care for Older People and the Integration of health and social care and the draft Joint Strategic Plan for older people. The services should meet the needs of the person rather than fitting the person into services, with the person at the centre of their care and support. It is also about health, social care and local communities all working together more, along with other partners. The aim is to put people at the heart of the services provided and communities, as well as with partner agencies. To support this work a booklet which has been developed with input from older people to explain how and why things are changing and to seek their views on the draft plans. The booklet includes a questionnaire to facilitate feedback, either online via http://livingwellinargyllandbute.co.uk/ or as a tear out from the booklet and using a freepost address. This can be completed individually or as a group with the facilitator providing the feedback, by the end of December. In early 2015 the results will be reviewed to inform the draft Joint Strategy for Older People Dr Von-Kaehne referred to the RCOP information available on the website not being up to date. Ms Tyrrell acknowledged the requirement for updated information to be available and advised that work is ongoing and feedback awaited, with progress being made on updating the information in 4-6 weeks. Dr Von-Kaehne highlighted difficulties experienced in calling the central number used by health and social care professionals and self referring members of the public to access 2 Social Work Services and Home Care in Cowal. This results in unacceptable delays in early intervention and community care assessments. Ms Tyrrell acknowledged that the use of this ‘Golden Number’ has resulted in some difficulties and work is being undertaken to the resolve issues raised. She requested that Dr Von-Kaehne provide her with further details of his concerns to inform the work underway. Ms Tyrrell responded to comments by Dr Von-Kaehne relating to differing contract terms for external care providers and the impact on staff, advising that this is currently under review by the Council Procurement Department. The presentation is being presented to staff and joint CHP and Council meetings before being issued to the wider public. Ms Garman suggested that the joint work and plans to encourage community capacity building should be reflected in the presentation. Ms Tyrrell agreed with this proposal. The Committee: • Noted the content of the presentation. 7 NHS HIGHLAND 7.1 Highland NHS Board 7 October 2014 Mr Creelman advised that the Highland NHS Board meeting is now available to view on Webex and requested that this is publicised within Argyll & Bute. Ms Clark will advise Mr Ritchie, Communications Manager.

  • Director of Public Health's Annual Report Looks at the Challenges Ahead
    Team Update Issue 74 November 2010 www.nhshighland.scot.nhs.uk Director of Public Health’s Annual Report looks at the challenges ahead Alcohol misuse, smoking and obesity are major public health challenges facing NHS Highland, according to the first annual report from its Director of Public Health. Dr Margaret Somerville’s report also highlights the increasing number of older people in the local population and the corresponding increase in the number of people living with long- term conditions, such as hypertension, depression, asthma, coronary heart disease, diabetes and cancer. And it looks at lessons learned from last year’s influenza pandemic and explains that a major challenge for the future will be preparing and planning for climate change. Dr Somerville, (pictured top right) who took up the post in February of this year, points out that the health service, along with the rest of the public sector, still has to deal with these issues at a time when their budget is under increasing pressure. She said: “This report reflects my own observations about the health of people in NHS Highland in my first few months in post and the major challenges that lie ahead if we are to continue improving health and closing the gap between the best and worst off in society. “With the prospect of real cuts in spending on health over the next few years, it is more important than ever that we do not lose sight of the long-term health improvement work through which we hope to contain and reduce health service use and cost.” Dr Somerville explained that the population of NHS Highland had increased by more than 5% over the last 10 years and was predicted to increase by a further 10% over the next 20 years, with the number of people aged over 75 more than doubling in the same period.

Megan Morrison became our first ever modern apprentice last August and then went on to win the SFHA, Scotland wide, Apprentice Challenge 2016 {picture: Inside back cover}. I’m glad to say Megan is now a full time employee of Fyne Homes within our Housing Department. Our scheme for 8 flats at Kilmun came off site this summer {Picture: inside front cover} and our scheme for a further 17 much needed properties at St Cuthbert’s, Dunoon comes off site this autumn. However, the big news is that additional Scottish Government Grant funding has been made available to accelerate social housing construction within Argyll and Bute. We have ambitious plans currently being drawn up to build approximately 100 new properties in various locations in Argyll and Bute over the next 2- 3 years …. so watch this space! My thanks go out to all the staff and committee members that have worked tirelessly over the last 3 years. May I wish my successor all the very best for their period in office, continuing to guide this dynamic group into the future and through all the challenges that it will no doubt encounter.

  • Transcript from Our Hustings Meeting in March 2016
    The Coalition of Carers in Scotland Fairer for Carers – Hustings Meeting 30th March 2016 Full Transcript of the Debate Opening Remarks Carole Ford, Scottish Liberal Democrats Well, good morning ladies and gentlemen. I think I will just say a word or two about myself because I think that looking at the panel here this morning, I am pretty much of an unknown quantity to most of you. I am actually a former head teacher and I was a head teacher of a secondary school for 14 years and so my experience of carers was dealing with and trying to support young carers and that was a real issue in schools and a real issue for the young people concerned and so that is my background and knowledge of dealing with the whole issue of caring. In a personal front also, I was a carer myself briefly for very elderly parents and have had the same personal experience that probably many of you have had and many of the carers across Scotland. In relation to the Carers Bill, as Donald said, the Scottish Liberal Democrats were very supportive of that Bill and gave it all the time, care and attention that it deserved and we are delighted that the Bill has now become an Act. The Scottish Liberal Democrats have identified two key priorities in this election and the first of these is obviously education. We consider that the Scottish education system has been seriously undermined under the current Government and we wish to put a penny onto income tax to rectify the situation Our second major priority is in fact mental health.

  • Strategic Plan 2019/20 – 2021/22
    PEOPLE IN ARGYLL AND BUTE WILL LIVE LONGER, HEALTHIER INDEPENDENT LIVES Strategic Plan 2019/20 – 2021/22 FOREWORD FROM OUR CHIEF OFFICER Welcome to the Argyll & Bute Health and Social Care Partnership’s second Strategic Plan. Our previous plan supported us to continue to deliver your services during a challenging period of change, whilst ensuring that we maintained the focus on supporting the people of Argyll & Bute to lead long, healthy and independent lives. Over the next three years we will build on the success of bringing a multi-disciplinary team of health and social care staff together with a continuing focus on integrated services and practices. We are working with staff to progress a shared understanding of best practices and importantly develop a new health and social care practice that will allow us to deliver services that protect and keep people safe. As a rural health and social care partnership, our geography and demographic can at times be perceived as challenging but it should also be perceived as an opportunity to develop innovative community based practices throughout health and social care. We are seeking best practices in rural medicine and social care and are seeking to innovate with the independent and third sector to strengthen and enhance the breadth of service delivery in our remote and rural areas. We are also actively working with our key partners, NHS Highland and Argyll & Bute Council, to plan a workforce that will support Argyll & Bute’s population and the diverse range of health and social care needs. We continue to support the approach of ‘right service, right place and right time’ to ensure that Argyll & Bute residents are able to access the range of health and social care services they require.
