    transport guide FOREWORD The Moray Forum is a constituted voluntary organisation that was established to provide a direct link between the Area Forums and the Moray Community Planning Partnership. The Forum is made up of two representatives of each of the Area Forums and meets on a regular basis. Further information about The Moray Forum is available on: www.yourmoray.org.uk Area Forums are recognised by the Moray Community Planning Partnership as an important means of engaging local people in the Community Planning process. In rural areas - such as Moray - transport is a major consideration, so in September 2011 the Moray Forum held its first transport seminar to look at the issues and concerns that affect our local communities in respect of access to transport. Two actions that came from that event was the establishment of a Passenger Forum and a Transport Providers Network. This work was taken forward by the Moray Forum Transport Working Group made up of representatives of the Area Forums, Moray Council, NHS Grampian, tsiMORAY, and community transport schemes. In September 2013 the Working Group repeated the seminar to see how much progress had been made on the actions and issues identified in 2011. As a direct result of the work of the Group this Directory has been produced in order to address an on-going concern that has been expressed of the lack of information on what transport is available in Moray, the criteria for accessing certain transport services, and where to go for further advice. The Moray Forum Transport Working Group would like to acknowledge the help of all the people who provided information for this Directory, and thereby made a contribution towards the integration of public, private and community transport services within Moray.

  • Consultation Responses Moray Integration
    Integration of Moray Adult Health and Social Care Consultation Feedback Report 1.0 Purpose 1.1 The purpose of this paper is to report on the outcome of the consultation on the Draft Integration Scheme and Localities Model for Moray Adult Health and Social Care. This is part of the wider Scottish Government Initiative under the terms of the Public Bodies (Joint Working) Scotland Act 2014 to integrate Health and Social care Services. 2.0 Key Points 2.1 The total number of consultation feedback forms received was 92. 2.2 In terms of the survey questions on the actual integration Scheme document, the approval rating combining those who support all or part of the document was approximately 81% (about 74) with uncertainty or disapproval averaging out at 7%. The variance from 100% is due to some forms not having responses recorded to all questions. 2.3 The areas of greatest approval were the Vision Statement, Our Purpose and Our Values which scored about 85% (78) support or partial support. 2.4 The area of least approval was Governance with 5% (5) respondents not supporting and 12% (12) who were not sure. It should be noted that the combined support and partial support amounted to 68%. Information Sharing and the Claims and Liability sections also had uncertainty level of around 10% (8 forms and 10 forms) but approval ratings of 78% and 79%. 1 2.5 In terms of the survey on Locality models, 4 (4%) have supported an east-west split, 6 (7%) have suggested other models, with two of these suggesting Moray should stay as one area.
