PH has severe physical and learning disabilities and is without speech. He lacks capacity to decide for himself where to live. Since the age of four he has received accommodation and support at public expense. Until his majority in December 2004, he was living with foster parents in South Gloucestershire. Since then he has lived in two care homes in the Somerset area. There is no dispute about his entitlement to that support, initially under the Children Act 1989, and since his majority under the National Assistance Act 1948. The issue is: which authority should be responsible? 2. This depends, under sections 24(1) and (5) of the 1948 Act, on, where immediately before his placement in Somerset, he was “ordinarily resident”.

Rethinking Governance a Summary of Council Activities on Governance Change
Rethinking governance A summary of council activities on governance change Contact information: Ed Hammond, [email protected] / 07764 684 182 Date: November 2020 (1st edition) About this document This is an appendix to the Centre for Governance and Scrutiny’s “Rethinking governance for the 20s”, published in November 2020. This appendix, which will be updated at least annually, provides as comprehensive as possible a range of examples of councils which have, since 2011, changed their formal governance arrangements. If your council is listed here but you feel the information provided doesn’t give the whole story, please contact us; equally, please contact us if your council has changed its governance arrangements, or has considered doing so, but is not listed. The information in this document was correct at the time of writing. 1 Councils which considered a formal change, but decided against it There are a large number of councils who have considered their options – often in depth – and decided not to pursue any formal change. Some of these councils ended up adopting hybrid arrangements, which are discussed in more detail below. ▪ Plymouth (unitary council). Full Council commissioned a working group to investigate the possibilities around governance change in 2016. A set of design principles were developed and a comprehensive review was carried out which recommended no change to the Council’s formal governance model, but amendments to the way that the authority operated within the leader-cabinet system. (Report to committee: https://democracy.plymouth.gov.uk/documents/s77001/CHANGING%20GOV ERNANCE%20ARRANGEMENTS%20REPORT%2016012017%20Constitution%20 Review%20Group.pdf ) ▪ Lancashire (county council).

Service Background The provision of sexual health services in community pharmacies contributes to the following key local and national health priorities: reducing the rate of under 18 conceptions reducing STI rates amongst young people Increasing the number of Chlamydia diagnoses Outcomes indicated in ‘A Framework for Sexual Health Improvement in England’ (Department of Health 2013) Meeting the local Chlamydia screening target for 15-24 year olds. All community pharmacies are required to provide some sexual health services as part of their essential services, e.g. promotion of healthy lifestyles, providing opportunistic sexual health advice in Public Health campaigns, signposting people to other services (including Contraception and Sexual Health Services [CaSH], Genito-Urinary Medicine [GUM] and maternity access), and support for self-care. This specification for emergency hormonal contraception services in pharmacies builds on these essential services, to provide a full and co-ordinated range of sexual health services to young people. This Service will operate from 1st April 2014 until 31st March 2015. It will then be reviewed in the light of any changes to pharmacy provision, success of the service and healthcare needs of the local population. 2.
