Argyll and Bute Health and Social Care Argyll and Bute HSCP What does the future look like for Argyll & Bute’s health and social care services? Stephen Whiston Head of Strategic Planning and Performance working together with you Our Vision People in Argyll and Bute will live longer, healthier, happier, independent lives working together with you A&B HSCP Strategic Plan Drivers for Change People/Users – tell us Quality Epidemiological Workforce Want to stay at home in We relentlessly pursue the community.

Future Shape of Services • GP and other 'front-line' services will continued to be provided locally. However we expect that, through mergers and federations, there will be fewer GP practices. This will provide a greater choice to patients – e.g. a male or female doctors and offer you a range of GPs and nurses with special interests and training. • Most hospital treatments will not require a stay in hospital, with hospital beds being used only for those needing more continuous nursing. – Less hospital beds • With more care delivered in the home, and with more support for carers (especially family and friends), nursing- and care-home beds will be used for those who need a higher level of care. The fundamental transformational change required is shifting of our services and resources (workforce and money) to ones which prioritise: • anticipatory care • preventative measures • maintenance of health and wellbeing. This means spending less money on acute care, disinvesting and transferring this money to prevention and anticipatory care services in the community A&B HSCP Financial Plan The table below provides the detail of the partnership budget position and the resulting gap across the three year period of the Strategic Plan. 2016-17 2017-18 2018-19 £m £m £m Baseline Budget 249.162 264.499 272.393 Pay Increase Cost 2.447 1.793 1.808 Non Pay Inflation & Cost/Demand 12.890 6.101 5.153 Pressures Total Forecast Expenditure 264.499 272.393 279.354 Total Estimated Funding (256.001) (257.294) (258.638) Budget Gap (Cumulative) 8.498 15.098 20.716 Budget Gap (In-Year) 8.498 6.601 5.617 Strategic Plan 2016-2019 Consultation feedback ❶ Keep Services Local ❷ Better Patient Transport ❸ More Public & Patient Participation ❹ Increased Focus on Mental Health Services ❺ Communication between NHS and Social Work ❻ More Health Promotion Information & Services ❼ A Higher Quality, Better Paid Care Worker Argyll and Bute HSCP What does this mean for Island Health and Care Services?

  • The Potential Detrimental Impact of the New Zealand Flatworm to Scottish
    B. Boag and R. Neilson Boag, B. and R. Neilson. The potential detrimental impact of the New Zealand fl atworm to Scottish islands The potential detrimental impact of the New Zealand fl atworm to Scottish islands B. Boag and R. Neilson The James Hutton Institute, Invergowrie, Dundee, Scotland, DD2 5DA, UK. <[email protected]>. Abstract: The New Zealand fl atworm, Arthurdendyus triangulatus, is an alien invasive species in The British Isles and the Faroes. It was probably fi rst introduced after WWII and is an obligate predator of our native earthworms. It was initially considered a curiosity until observations in the 1990s in Northern Ireland found it could signifi cantly reduce earthworm numbers. In 1992, it was scheduled under the Countryside and Wildlife Act 1981 then transferred to the Wildlife and Natural Environment (Scotland) Act in 2011 which makes it an off ence to knowingly distribute the fl atworm. A retrospective survey in Scotland showed that it was detected in botanic gardens, nurseries and garden centres in the 1960s but then spread to domestic gardens then fi nally to farms in the 1990s. Although the geographical distribution of A. triangulatus was initially confi ned to mainland Scotland it was subsequently found established on 30 Scottish Islands. Most of the islands are to the north and west of Scotland and have cool damp climates which are favoured by the New Zealand fl atworm. These islands also generally have relatively poor soils that support grassland farming systems. Evidence from both Northern Ireland and Scotland suggests anecic species of earthworm which occur predominantly in grassland, which help drainage and are a source of food for both animals and birds are at particular risk from the fl atworm.

  • Rural Affairs and Environment Committee
    Flooding and Flood Management Inquiry RURAL AFFAIRS AND ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE SUBMISSION FROM HENRY TARBATT Subject: Erosion and flood risk, Easdale Island Many thanks for facilitating the organisation of such an historic and successful launch of SIF, and congratulations on your appointment as its first Chairman. Here follow a few lines and inclusions which hopefully will clarify my stance and position at the conference. My attempt to “slot in” a debate on the effects of global climate change on all our islands was made because I believe it was an issue that needed to be raised, and it was intended as a. positive and constructive contribution My comments about Easdale Island were intended to argue from the particular to the general, and after the meeting I was informed by the Tiree delegate that they would find themselves in the same category, i.e. very low lying and vulnerable to storm surges. I have therefore included a copy of a survey commissioned in 1999 by an Easdale islander, Mrs. J. Cunningham, on the storm flood risk to her own particular property on Easdale. As you will see from the report by Prof Fleming, her particular problems affect all the islanders on Easdale. She has, at her own expense, both commissioned the report and made credit-worthy attempts to address the problem by constructing sea defences — at a personal cost to her of £20,000— that not only protect her own property but also the rest of Easdale Island. She has also personally, one by one, placed several hundred tons of stones as back-filling to support the gabions.

  • The Seabed Geomorphology and Geological Structure of the Firth of Lorn, Western Scotland, UK, As Revealed by Multibeam Echo-Sounder Survey John A
    Earth and Environmental Science Transactions of the Royal Society of Edinburgh, 105, 273–284, 2015 (for 2014) The seabed geomorphology and geological structure of the Firth of Lorn, western Scotland, UK, as revealed by multibeam echo-sounder survey John A. Howe1, Roger Anderton2, Riccardo Arosio1, Dayton Dove3, Tom Bradwell3, Philip Crump1, Rhys Cooper3 and Andre Cocuccio4 1 Scottish Association for Marine Science, Scottish Marine Institute, Oban PA37 1QA, UK. 2 Kilmichael House, Kilmichael Glassary, Lochgilphead PA31 8QA, UK. 3 British Geological Survey, Murchison House, West Mains Rd, Edinburgh EH9 3LA, UK. 4 Maritime and Coastguard Agency, Spring Place, 105 Commercial Road, Southampton SO15 1EG, UK. ABSTRACT: This paper presents recently collected swath bathymetry from the Firth of Lorn. 553 km2 of data were collected during 2012–2013 as part of the INIS Hydro (Ireland, Northern Ireland and Scotland Hydrographic Survey) programme. The area proves to consist of bedrock-dominated seabed, divided into narrow, stratigraphically- constrained and glacially-over-deepened basins. The bedrock is composed of late Proterozoic Dalradian metasediments overlain unconformably by Old Red Sandstone (ORS) sediments and lavas of ?Silurian-age. The central region of the Firth of Lorn is dominated by a vertical cliff, up to 150 m high and extending for approximately 24 km. This feature, here termed the Insh Fault, may have originated as a Dalradian extensional fault, been reactivated as an ORS feature and now forms a fault-line scarp with resistant ORS rocks on the downthrown side, flanking the more deeply eroded metasediments exposed in the basin. Tertiary intrusives are common, in particular, swarms of Paleocene dolerite dykes exposed on the sediment-free bedrock surfaces, and can be traced for many kilometres.
