  • Primary Care Committee 19
    PRIMARY CARE COMMITTEE 19 September 2016 New model of care consultation report 1. Introduction 1.1. A comprehensive twelve week consultation was undertaken between April and July 2016 on a proposed new model of primary care in East Lancashire. 1.2. The consultation achieved extensive publicity and was widely promoted in the area. 1.3. An online survey was supported with a distribution of 13,000 paper questionnaires and pre-paid envelopes to the 58 GP practices and patient and public interest groups. 1.4. The promotion of the survey was backed up with press and radio coverage, advertising, and the extensive use of social media. 1.5. In addition, a programme of presentations, meetings and face to face engagement was undertaken to enable patients, members of the public and other stakeholders to consider the proposals and respond to the consultation. 1.6. We engaged with patients at 16 drop-in face to face meetings. We were privileged to be able to present our proposals and hear views at over 30 different meetings. We engaged in online discussions on Facebook and Twitter, encouraging comment whilst hopefully maintaining a neutral yet positive stance. 1.7. We were delighted to receive 2,129 responses to the consultation, and within these responses, many detailed comments which we have given consideration to. 1.8. We are truly grateful for the level of engagement and the responses people have given. This report sets out our reflections regarding the feedback and proposes how we will consider further the responses moving forward. 2. Approach 2.1. Prior to more formal engagement with patients and the public, we undertook a period of pre-consultation engagement in March 2016, in Hyndburn, and we briefed our representative Patient Participation Group (PPG) network chairs at a meeting of the Patient Partners Board.

The former British middleweight champion spoke to the children about how sport had helped him keep out of trouble as a child, and the importance of being active to remain healthy and ensure positive mental health. Brian said, “So many kids could benefit from using sport as a way to channel frustration and aggression. I was quite a mischievous child and focusing on boxing definitely helped keep me on the straight and narrow. Sport can teach you so many life lessons including how to deal with setbacks and disappointment.

  • Memorable Journeys
    PROJECT REPORT 2020 | OCTOBER MEMORABLE JOURNEYS Lead: Shahiesta Raja,Education Development Officer Lines: East Lancashire, Preston to Colne/ Burnley Manchester Road Budget: £10,250 Funding: Connecting East Lancashire & Community Rail Development Fund OVERVIEW Memorable Journeys came about as part of Connecting East Lancashire and Community Rail Lancashire’s initiative to get young people to think about the way in which they travel and how that can be made more sustainable. It builds on Community Rail Lancashire’s Passengers of the Future initiative that encourages young people to travel by train by engaging them at primary school level to show them how easy and sustainable rail travel can be. Through this project we wanted to engage the young people in Accrington to take pride in their local station by having a hand in decorating a part of it with artwork produced by them. Memorable Journeys became the theme as we wanted children to think about the kinds of journeys they had taken to and from Accrington and how these journeys had impacted their lives. APPROACH Lead by Shahiesta Raja, Community Rail Lancashire worked with Peel Park Primary School and Hyndburn Park Primary School in Accrington to produce artwork that is now displayed on both platforms at Accrington station. Over two half terms two groups of Key Stage 2 children worked with local artist Alastair Nicholson who has considerable experience of working with young people. The school based sessions were focussed on teaching the children about painting and creating pieces of art about their experiences of travel. In order to do this effectively the children spent some time at Accrington Library to research the history of the communities that have migrated to Accrington over the last few decades and to see how their home town has changed over the years.

    SCHOOL LIAISON. ¾ Force Lancashire Police ¾ Endorsing Senior Representative Chief Constable Paul Stephenson ¾ Contact Name PC 1631 Mark Skellorn ¾ Address Great Harwood Police Station, Blackburn Road, Great Harwood, Blackburn, Lancashire. BB6 7DZ ¾ Telephone 01254 353334 ¾ Fax 01254 353332 ¾ E-mail [email protected] SCHOOL LIAISON. Following the Rishton CBM being given a community base inside Norden High School the Headteacher and myself met to discuss how it could be used to improve relationships between the police, the school and it’s pupils. Eastern communications received a high number of calls from the school and reducing this would be one obvious benefit. Area 7 has three towns, Great Harwood, Rishton and Clayton le Moors. The areas secondary education is served through a number of schools but one of these, Norden County High, is situated within Rishton and the majority of its pupils are from Great Harwood and Rishton. Pupils are from a varied social background but mainly from a lower social background. The main victim is the community. Others are the Police, School, young people and local businesses. The current system fails to bring together two organisations involved in a child’s upbringing. This creates barriers between the police, schools and the community whereby all pull in generally the same direction but without cohesion. Organisations and parents have a view that each should be in control of its own remit and use it’s own punishment/reward system. The reality is that problems are generally caused by the same people and to target these, as one, would have more effect.

  • Lancashire: a Chronology of Flash Flooding
    LANCASHIRE: A CHRONOLOGY OF FLASH FLOODING Introduction The past focus on the history of flooding has been mainly with respect to flooding from the overflow of rivers and with respect to the peak level that these floods have achieved. The Chronology of British Hydrological Events provides a reasonably comprehensive record of such events throughout Great Britain. Over the last 60 years the river gauging network provides a detailed record of the occurrence of river flows and peak levels and flows are summaried in HiflowsUK. However there has been recent recognition that much flooding of property occurs from surface water flooding, often far from rivers. Locally intense rainfall causes severe flooding of property and land as water concentrates and finds pathways along roads and depressions in the landscape. In addition, intense rainfall can also cause rapid rise in level and discharge in rivers causing a danger to the public even though the associated peak level is not critical. In extreme cases rapid rise in river level may be manifested as a ‘wall of water’ with near instantaneous rise in level of a metre or more. Such events are usually convective and may be accompanied by destructive hail or cause severe erosion of hillsides and agricultural land. There have been no previous compilations of historical records of such ‘flash floods’or even of more recent occurrences. It is therefore difficult to judge whether a recent event is unusual or even unique in terms of the level reached at a particular location or more broadly of regional severity. This chronology of flash floods is provided in order to enable comparisons to be made between recent and historical floods, to judge rarity and from a practical point of view to assess the adequacy of urban drainage networks.
