As a result of the training, Alzheimer Scotland’s key workers will have the skills and knowledge required to highlight any at risk practices which their service users may be undertaking.

Intervention Description: Construction of a new direct rail link between Wemyss Bay and Largs. Summary: Rationale for Not Progressing The benefits of this intervention, at a strategic level, are considered to be relatively small as this only provides a small increase in capacity. Alternative rail-based interventions are more likely to contribute to the objective of increasing capacity and reducing journey times between Glasgow and Inverclyde/Ayrshire and would represent a better solution in terms of value for money.

    Bathing water profile: Saltcoats/Ardrossan Bathing water: Saltcoats/Ardrossan EC bathing water ID number: UKS7616049 Location of bathing water: UK/Scotland/North Ayrshire (Map1) Year of designation: 1987 Photograph provided courtesy of North Ayrshire Council Bathing water description Saltcoats/Ardrossan bathing water is a 1 km stretch of sandy beach that lies between the towns of Ardrossan and Saltcoats on the North Ayrshire coast. There are rocky areas at Bath Rocks in the north- west and at the former boating ponds in the south-east. The nearby island of Arran can be seen to the west of the bathing water. The bathing water is also known locally as South Beach. It was designated as a bathing water in 1987. During high and low tides the approximate distance to the water’s edge can vary from 0–390 metres. The sandy beach slopes gently towards the water. For local tide information see: http://easytide.ukho.gov.uk/EasyTide/ Our monitoring point for taking water quality samples is located at the western end of the designated area (Grid Ref NS 23453 41997) as shown on Map 1. Monitoring water quality Please visit our website1 for details of the current EU water quality classification and recent results for this bathing water. During the bathing season (1 June to 15 September), designated bathing waters are monitored by SEPA for faecal indicators (bacteria) and classified according to the levels of these indicators in the water. The European standards used to classify bathing waters arise from recommendations made by the World 1 http://apps.sepa.org.uk/bathingwaters/ Health Organisation and are linked to human health.
