  • Draft Letter to the Prime Minister
    HOUSE OF COMMONS LONDO sw 1A OAA Rt. Hon. David Cameron MP Prime Minister 10 Downing Street London SW1A2AA Dear Prime Minister, As Members of Parliament for Staffordshire, we write to express our deep concern at the withdrawal of 3rd Battalion, the Mercian Regiment (The Staffards) from the Order of Battle. The Battalion has a proud history which can be traced back to its first raising at the King's Head Inn, Lichfield, in 1705. It served in Martinique, South Africa, Flanders, Gallipoli, Anzio and Arnhem. More recently, photographs of 3 Mercian fighting in Basra, became defining images of the Iraq campaign. We all recognise the difficult financial climate and the constraints that imposes on the Ministry of Defence. We understand that savings must be made. However, we also know that the decision to withdraw 3 Mercian will be distressing for all those currently serving, particularly those that might face redundancy, for their families and for those former Staffards who proudly recall their service. We know that it is the responsibility of the Mercian Regiment, as reorganised, to decide how best to reflect its history and antecedents. But as there is no longer any senior former Stafford serving on its staff, we hope that you will do all you can to encourage the Regiment to preserve and cherish the symbols, traditions and heritage of 3 Mercian within its ranks. 2 Mercian is known now as the Worcester and Sherwood Foresters as a result of previous amalgamations and we hope that a similar formula can be found to remember the Staffords.

  • Surgery Reconfiguration Public Engagement Report
    Surgery Reconfiguration Public Engagement Report PB March 2015 Executive Summary After an extended period of public engagement, over 18 weeks from 16thOctober 2014 to 9th February 2015, the feedback has been collated in this report. Overall, there appears to be an acceptance that the Trust cannot continue to provide surgical services in the current form given the external factors influencing healthcare delivery and the evidence that centralisation of services improves clinical outcomes. It is clear that the population is passionate about the retention of their local hospitals and the proposal to keep all outpatient appointments and investigation services delivered locally is popular. Concern remains over transport and travel and whilst the Trust is exploring possible solutions to this there is a degree of public scepticism that the issues will be resolved satisfactorily, which is likely to remain until such time as concrete plans have been developed and implemented. There has been almost no feedback from patients or the public relating to how the changes will affect the likely outcomes of undergoing surgery. This was explained at events with provision of the evidence on the website and so the lack of feedback may indicate it is not a contentious issue. There is little difference between the feedback received from each site although there has been a better response from Good Hope in terms of numbers, possibly due to the additional awareness created by local lobby groups. Whilst there appears to be acknowledgement that redesigning surgical services is the right approach, it is likely that individuals will resist change when it directly affects them or the services they access.

By March 2016, when the World Health Organization (WHO) announced an end to the Public Health Emergency of International Concern declared in August 2014, some 28,616 confirmed, probable and suspected cases, with 11,310 deaths, had been reported in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone – the three worst-affected countries. • The exceptional magnitude and duration of the emergency meant that the response was honed over time, presenting a rare opportunity to study the management of the response as it matured. This paper focuses on Sierra Leone, which experienced the highest number of cases, with 14,124 infections, including 3,956 deaths, reported to WHO, and where the operational architecture of the Ebola response went through three main iterations over a 22-month period.

    2015 Issue 3 (Publ. June 1) Vol. 9 Issue 3 A round up of policy events and news 1. Top story - General Election & Queen’s Speech Queen’s Speech – New legislative programme The Queen’s Speech sets out the Government’s legislative agenda, which this year consists of twenty six Bills. The first Conservative Queen’s Speech since 1996 contains few surprises as the proposed legislation reflects the Conservative’s pre-election manifesto commitments, such as a referendum on the UK’s membership of the EU, no rises in national insurance, income tax or VAT over the next five years, and extending Right to Buy to housing association tenants. There are four constitutional Bills devolving power away from Westminster. A consultation will be held on the move to replace the Human Rights Act with a British Bill of Rights. Bills of interest include: Scotland Bill This Bill will deliver, in full, the Smith Commission agreement on further devolution to Holyrood, including responsibility for setting levels of income tax. European Referendum Bill The EU referendum was a key part of the Conservative’s election campaign and this Bill will provide for a referendum of Britain’s membership of the EU. The vote will take place before the end of 2017. Enterprise Bill The Enterprise Bill seeks to cut business regulation and enable easier resolution of disputes for small businesses. Bank of England Bill The purpose of the Bill is to strengthen further the governance and accountability of the Bank of England to ensure it is well-positioned to oversee monetary policy and financial stability.
