  • Summary Strategic Plan for 2014-19 Royal Devon & Exeter NHS
    Summary Strategic Plan for 2014-19 Royal Devon & Exeter NHS Foundation Trust Introduction Welcome to the Royal Devon & Exeter’s summary strategic plan 2014-19. The summary provides an over view of the Trust’s strategic plan and covers our corporate strategy, the context and market analysis for the Trust, our plans and supporting initiatives and a summary of our financial projections. The Trust continues to provide good quality healthcare to the communities it serves achieving the highest ratings from Monitor and the CQC. The Trust has met its regulatory targets, it has reduced cancellations for elected patients and delivers high quality, safe and sustained care despite the demographic and financial constraints it faces. Going forward, the scale of the financial and demographic challenges, and the need to substantially change the way in which healthcare is delivered, means that what the Trust does and how it does it will look significantly different at the end of this period in comparison to today. However, I am confident that, in working closely with our partners, having a strong sense of what matters and who matters, a robust governance system and a corporate model that ensures that the voice of our key stakeholders are listened to and acted on as a public benefit corporation, we can continue to provide high quality care to the people of Devon and beyond. James Brent Chairman 1 Corporate Strategy The Trust has developed a Corporate Strategy for 2014/15 to 2018/19, which forms the context for our Strategic Plan. The Corporate Strategy sets out our vision, values and strategic objectives.

  • Cetaceans of South-West England
    CETACEANS OF SOUTH-WEST ENGLAND This region encompasses the Severn Estuary, Bristol Channel and the English Channel east to Seaton on the South Devon/Dorset border. The waters of the Western Approaches of the English Channel are richer in cetaceans than any other part of southern Britain. However, the diversity and abundance declines as one goes eastwards in the English Channel and towards the Severn Estuary. Seventeen species of cetacean have been recorded in the South-west Approaches since 1980; nine of these species (32% of the 28 UK species) are present throughout the year or recorded annually as seasonal visitors. Thirteen species have been recorded along the Channel coast or in nearshore waters (within 60 km of the coast) of South-west England. Seven of these species (25% of the 28 UK species) are present throughout the year or are recorded annually. Good locations for nearshore cetacean sightings are prominent headlands and bays. Since 1990, bottlenose dolphins have been reported regularly nearshore, the majority of sightings coming from Penzance Bay, around the Land’s End Peninsula, and St. Ives Bay in Cornwall, although several locations along both north and south coasts of Devon are good for bottlenose dolphin. Cetaceans can also been seen in offshore waters. The main species that have been recorded include short- beaked common dolphins and long-finned pilot whales. Small numbers of harbour porpoises occur annually particularly between October and March off the Cornish & Devon coasts. CETACEAN SPECIES REGULARLY SIGHTED IN THE REGION Fin whale Balaenoptera physalus Rarer visitors to offshore waters, fin whales have been sighted mainly between June and December along the continental shelf edge at depths of 500-3000m.

    The US Army in North Devon Second World War US Army Training Structures In December 1941 The United States of America entered the 2nd World War when its Pacific Fleet Naval Base at Pearl Harbour in Hawaii was attacked by the Japanese aircraft. This was quickly followed by a declaration of war by Japan’s Allies Germany and Italy. The Americans were initially unprepared for a war in Europe and through 1942 the American nation quickly mobilised their war industries and expanded their armed forces. By the summer of 1940 Germany had occupied northern Europe but after the Battle of Britain and the declaration of war on the Soviet Union in June 1941, the Germans had adopted a defensive strategy along the English Channel Coast. As the German War effort began to founder in Russia, the decision was taken at the Cassablanca Conference in January 1943 to make a cross channel invasion of the continent of Europe. However, in 1942 the disastrous raid by Canadians and the British at Dieppe in France, reinforced German desire to step up work in constructing the so called “Atlantic Wall” and emphasised the need to for the Americans to undertake training for the proposed cross channel invasion. In 1943, no principle existed in the US Army for assaulting a heavily fortified and defensively prepared coastline and this lack of readiness and need for specialised training led to the formation of an Assault Training Center on the coast of North Devon. The task was allocated to Lieutenant Colonel Paul W Thompson who activated the Assault Training Center in April 1943 although at that stage no practice ground had been established.

  • Unravelling Devon Involvement in Slave-Ownership Lucy
    Unravelling Devon involvement in Slave-Ownership Lucy MacKeith ‘The early history of the United States of America owes more to Devon than to any other English county.’ Charles Owen (ed.), The Devon-American Story (1980) My task this afternoon is to unravel Devon’s involvement in slave-ownership. I have found the task overwhelming because of constantly finding new information – there are leads to follow down little branches of family trees, there are Devon’s country houses, a wealth of documents, and – of course – the internet. So this is a VERY brief introduction to unravelling Devon’s involvement with slave- ownership – much has been left out. Let’s start with Elias Ball. His story is in Slaves in the Family, written by descendant Edward Ball and published in 1998. Elias Ball by Jeremiah Theus (1716-1774). ‘Elias Ball, ...was born in 1676 in a tiny hamlet in western England called Stokeinteignhead. He inherited a plantation in Carolina at the end of the seventeenth century ...His life shows how one family entered the slave business in the birth hours of America. It is a tale composed equally of chance, choice and blood.’ The book has many Devon links – an enslaved woman called Jenny Buller reminds us of Redvers Buller’s family, a hill in one of the Ball plantations called ‘Hallidon Hill’ reminds us of Haldon Hill just outside Exeter; two family members return to England, one after the American War of Independence. This was Colonel Wambaw Elias Ball who had been involved in trading in enslaved Africans in Carolina. He was paid £12,700 sterling from the British Treasury and a lifetime pension in compensation for the slaves he had lost in the war of independence.

  • Devon County Council Senior Council for Devon
    • Other things we think would help in other developments: - a longer timescale - the two year target was testing for all parties; - clarity and a higher national profile about national expectations of the model to be adopted; - older people did not recognise ‘Better Government for Older People’; - a wider range of older people can in theory be involved through organisations they choose to be members of, and there are disadvantages in trying to establish a new Devon County membership organisation, but it is difficult to marry individual and group membership in the same organisation. The Government’s citizen involvement agenda requires individual involvement; a resolution is needed over a period of experience. Council • Tendering (a legal requirement) and a contractual approach makes a difference to this type of work. • The tender was won by an independent consultancy from elsewhere in the County (Peter Fletcher Associates - PFA). We picked up traces of local resentment on the part of some voluntary sector interests which may have inhibited the development of the SCfD in certain areas. LinkAge Plus • We have gained much from the undoubted expertise of the contractors. However, we feel that separating expertise from development within the tendering process could have given greater value. • AGILE were given the status of co-commissioners of this work. We would recommend this. However, the development was a complex process which some older people who were involved found confusing, and in some cases there was a sense of loss as more older people became involved and distress when processes seemed beyond their control and the differences between the existing model of engagement and the new one Senior Council for became apparent.

Ilbert Road The Ilberts were a local family who during the 19th century had achieved recognition at home and in Britain’s empire. In 1696 the family "came down from the Moors" and acquired Bowringsleigh (near West Alvington), one of the area's ancient estates, previously held by since 1332, by the Bowring family. They later became connected with two other large houses: Horsewell House and Quay House The Ilbert family grew in size, and in importance also - through marriages with, for example, in 1712, the Courtenays of Powderham. By 1772 one branch was living in Horsewell House, South Milton - from where a Mrs Ilbert is recorded as intervening in events following the shipwreck of a vessel called "Chantiloupe", and in 1789, Lt. Colonel Wm Ilbert built Quay House in Kingsbridge. Family members served in the Devon Militia and the army, some sons went into the Church: for example one was Rector of Thurlestone for many years in the 19th century. They served the local community as, for example, High Sheriff of Devon, Chairman of the Board of Guardians, the Magistrates'Court, and committee members of philantrophic associations....One Ilbert served in 1 India as the legal member of the Viceroys's council and on returning to England he became in 1903, clerk to the House of Commons.

In that time, so much has changed - the countries involved, the powers devolved, the benefits and costs of membership. People feel that the EU is heading in a direction they never signed up for.

RESULTS Over the last month, Conservative members have been balloted to choose the candidates and their position on the ballot paper for next year’s European Elections. Conservatives are the only party to have backed the campaign to ‘Let Britain Decide’ in a referendum on the EU, following a renegotiation, by the end of 2017. Conservative MEPs have joined David Cameron in standing up for Britain in Europe, something Labour failed to do in over a decade in office. Grant Shapps, Conservative Party Chairman, said; “For 13 years Labour handed power to Brussels.
