This involved supporting an anchor organisation, in this case Mull and Iona Community Trust, to facilitate community growth through the employment of a Local Development Officer and the creation of a Community Plan based on consultation with the local community and a socio-economic analysis. The project is funded by Highlands and Islands Enterprise & LEADER. The document will always be open to suggestions and changes from the community and should not be regarded as being inflexible.

  • Report Your Views Feedback 15May15 FINAL
    Argyll & Bute MULL & IONA HEALTH AND CARE REVIEW Thank you for talking to usus,, your views areareare important to ususus YOUR VIEWS! Community Feedback REPORT FINAL 15th May 2015 Mull & Iona Health and Care Review Website : http://ow.ly/EUZpD Page 1 of 44 Background Providing high quality, safe and affordable health service to remote and rural communities across Scotland is challenging. It is a challenge for the present and for the future. Rural GPs have been making changes over the past few years to the way they provide services once their surgeries are closed “Out of Hours”. But this is just part of the bigger picture. The Mull & Iona Health and Care Review Group was established in October 2014 to ensure a high quality, person centred, sustainable and affordable integrated health and care service (in and out of hours) for the communities on the islands by October 2015. The action plan is in line with the Scottish Government’s 2020 Vision for Health and Social Care. The review will run for a period of twelve months. Once approved, the Oban Lorn and Isles Locality Management will put in place a plan to implement the recommendation(s). The review does not include day to day operational issues. The review has identified a proposed model for primary care (GP) service for Mull and Iona. Before implementation, it is essential to gather feedback from communities and staff across Mull and Iona about the proposal. In March 2015, the Communications and Engagement Group developed an information pack which was posted to all households on Mull and Iona.
