The stated aim of the CCG’s Coastal locality is to provide excellent integrated community health and care services in the Teignmouth and Dawlish area, and over a number of years it developed a proposal for changes they wanted to make to help achieve this aim. The background to the CCG proposal is a plan by Torbay and South Devon NHS Foundation Trust to build a new £8million Health and Wellbeing Centre in Brunswick Street, in the heart of Teignmouth, to house the town’s biggest GP practice and other health and care services. The CCG proposes moving some less frequently used outpatient services from Teignmouth to Dawlish. It sets out that no services currently being provided would be stopped, and all the services now provided in Teignmouth Community Hospital would stay in either Teignmouth or Dawlish towns. Part of the proposal is to move community outpatient services and clinics which consist of audiology, physiotherapy, podiatry as well as the specialist ear nose and throat – to the new Health and Wellbeing Centre in Teignmouth. These clinics are more frequently used by people in Teignmouth and Dawlish. Other specialist clinics would move to Dawlish Community Hospital, along with day case surgery. The final element of the proposal is to reverse an earlier CCG decision to provide 12 rehabilitation beds at Teignmouth Community Hospital. If the new proposal is approved, the CCG says Teignmouth Community Hospital would no longer be needed for NHS services and it would be likely to be sold by the Trust to generate funds for reinvestment in the NHS. Before any decisions are made about the new proposals, the CCG wanted to find out more about what local people think regarding modernising health and care services in the Teignmouth and Dawlish area. They appointed local Healthwatch in Devon, Plymouth and Torbay - the independent consumer champion for health and social care – to oversee a formal public consultation with the public, evaluate their response and learn how this new proposal may affect the people who use the services that may change. The independent report, written by Healthwatch in Devon, Plymouth and Torbay, details the feedback gathered and engagement undertaken and will be used by the CCG to inform them prior to any final decisions being made about the new proposals. Healthwatch in Devon, Plymouth & Torbay 3 Executive Summary of Key Consultation Findings Executive Summary of Key Consultation Findings • In total there were 1013 survey responses from across Devon, 98 households attended six public meetings, over 80 people attended seven community meetings and 44 people attended three staff meetings. • Most of the consultation survey feedback came from white British (92.3%) Teignmouth and Dawlish residents (90.43%) over the age of 55 (78.38%). There was a mix of gender, sexual orientation, disabilities, and religion. • More respondents had not used services at Teignmouth Community Hospital (56.66%) and Dawlish Community Hospital (68.90%) in the previous 12 months than had used services. Of those who had used services in the last 12 months, the most used services were Community Clinics (Teignmouth Community Hospital) and ‘Other’ (Dawlish Community Hospital). 137 respondents (13.52%) had received care at home in the Teignmouth and Dawlish area. • The majority of survey respondents (96.64%) fully understood the consultation proposal and thought integrated (joined-up) services are important (89.73%). Most respondents (83.81%) stated the Devon CCG document clearly explained the reasons for change and a similar majority (74.44%) said they had been ‘mostly’ or ‘completely’ provided with all the consultation information they needed to contribute their feedback. • 163 survey respondents said that the consultation document was comprehensive and sufficiently detailed, while others (65 people) felt that information was missing or inadequate; topics of concern included parking, statistics (e.g. on service usage at Dawlish Hospital), and figures (e.g. alternative proposals weren’t costed), and the moving of services. Some respondents (41) felt that the consultation document was biased towards the proposed changes (e.g. in favour of the new Health and Wellbeing Centre and closure of Teignmouth Community Hospital) and some questioned whether their feedback would be considered. • The majority of respondents (61.3%) supported the overall proposal, with more Dawlish residents (77.63%) supporting the proposals than Teignmouth residents (58.13%). Recurring issues raised throughout by residents included parking and traffic in Teignmouth town centre and transport and accessibility issues faced getting to Dawlish Community Hospital. Many (130 respondents) also had concerns about the quality and capacity of community-based care if the rehabilitation beds were to be closed and Healthwatch in Devon, Plymouth & Torbay 4 Executive Summary of Key Consultation Findings there were repeated objections to the closure of Teignmouth Community Hospital from some people. • The majority of respondents (63.18%) supported the proposal to move high-use community clinics from Teignmouth Community Hospital to the Health and Wellbeing Centre in Teignmouth town centre. Dawlish residents (72.81%) supported this more than Teignmouth residents (61.49%). • The proposal to move specialist outpatient clinics from Teignmouth Community Hospital to Dawlish Community Hospital was met with mixed feelings with more respondents saying they supported the proposal (44.92%) than those who did not support it (35.74%). 17.8% said they were ‘not sure’ about this proposal. Teignmouth residents were considerably less supportive of the proposed move than Dawlish residents. • There were similar mixed feelings to the proposal to move day case procedures from Teignmouth Community Hospital to Dawlish Community Hospital, with more respondents (45.11%) stating they supported the proposal than those who said they did not support it (35.14%). 18.46% responded that they were ‘Not sure’ about this proposal. Again, Teignmouth residents were less supportive of the proposed change than Dawlish residents. • Comparable results were found in feedback about the proposal to reverse the decision to establish 12 rehabilitation beds in Teignmouth Community Hospital, with more respondents (43.83%) saying they supported the proposal compared to those who stated they did not support it (31.49%). 22.21% said they were

  • Teignmouth Economic and Data Profile Indices of Deprivation
    Teignmouth economic and data profile Included in this profile are recently published datasets, where these are provided for Teignmouth, or for Teignbridge where this is relevant and recent. Additional data may be available from [email protected] upon request to support business cases, where the objective of the case, or bid and bid selection criteria are provided. Indices of deprivation These are reviewed once every four years. Data is provided at the Lower Level Super Output Area (LSOA) which are neighbourhoods of around 1,500-2,000 people. There are 32,844 LSOAs in England and each one is ranked against each other to provide a relative overall position nationally for each neighbourhood. A score of 100% is the least deprived in England and a score of 0% is the most deprived. The index is provided as an overall composite measure of deprivation but is made up of a number of sub-domains, for example income, which are also published alongside the overall index. Often if bidding for national funding pots where deprivation is a factor considered as part of the scoring criteria, the criteria will ask whether the proposed project is in an LSOA that is in the worst 10%/20%/25% in England. Sometimes it can also be helpful even if the project is not within a most deprived LSOA, but is within a mile, or so of them and serves people who live within the most deprived areas to articulate this in the bid. Separately the income and skills domains from the indices of deprivation showing better performing areas can be useful as a proxy of high, or improving levels of income, or skills to articulate to businesses wishing to invest in Teignmouth of the potential market or workforce available.

  • Mortimers in the 16Th Century Devon Tax Rolls in 1524, Henry VIII Raised
    Mortimers in the 16th century Devon Tax Rolls In 1524, Henry VIII raised a tax in attempt to fund the war with France. This was repeated again in 1543. These records are among the earliest accessible records of Mortimers in Devon and give us a glimpse of the prosperity and distribution of members of the Mortimer family during the first half of the 16th century. Overall, there were 25 men and women listed in 1524, having already spread to 16 parishes. 19 years later, they had absented from several of the aforementioned parishes but expanded to 19 parishes. The name has been standardised to Mortimer for internet search purposes. Little meaning was attached to the spellings of names in the 1500s and spelling varied widely.
