  • THE DEMOGRAPHY of SCOTLAND and the IMPLICATIONS for DEVOLUTION — EVIDENCE from POPULATION Mattersi
    THE DEMOGRAPHY OF SCOTLAND AND THE IMPLICATIONS FOR DEVOLUTION — EVIDENCE FROM POPULATION MATTERSi Key Points • Scotland’s population is growing, but more slowly and ageing more quickly than the remainder of the United Kingdom. • Scotland has lower fertility than the remainder of the United Kingdom. • Both the United Kingdom and Scottish populations are consuming ecological resources at an unsustainable rate. • The focus should be on managing the transition to a sustainable, stable population with a different demographic profile, not on trying artificially to maintain an existing demographic profile. • Responses to demographic change require long-term policies and plans. • Population must be given more attention in government through the appointment of senior ministers who have responsibility for this across departments. • Policies to encourage more efficient use of the existing labour pool and to reduce unintended pregnancies should be introduced. • The Scottish Government has significant policy levers; however, the devolving of powers over employment should be considered because of the differing nature of the demographic challenges in Scotland and the remainder of the United Kingdom. Reasons for Revision A first version of this evidence paper was submitted to the Scottish Affairs Committee in February 2016. Since this time, new population data for Scotland and the UK has become available, and the UK has voted in a national referendum to leave the European Union. In light of these recent developments, Population Matters has decided that it is appropriate that we revise our evidence report, including the most recent data, and the impact that the EU referendum result is likely to have on Scottish and UK demographics.

  • National Framework for Service Change in the NHS in Scotland
    National Framework for Service Change in the NHS in Scotland Drivers for Change in Health Care in Scotland National Planning Team May 2005 Contents. 1. Introduction 2 2. The changing population, patterns of ill-health 3 and the health service response 3. Health Inequalities 35 4. Patient Expectations 39 5. Remoteness and Rurality 42 6. Finance and Performance 44 7. Workforce 48 8. Clinical Standards and Quality 65 9. Medical Science 70 10. Information and Communication Technology 75 11. Conclusion 80 1 1. Introduction This paper pulls together, for the first time, the key factors driving change in Scotland’s health care system. Much of the information is already in the public domain but in this analysis we attempt to examine the inter-dependency of the various drivers and to seek to provide some clarity about what they mean for the future shape of the health service in Scotland. The position is complex. Not all of the factors driving change point in the same direction. But the implications are obvious: • change is inevitable • given the complexity of the drivers, planning for change is essential • “more of the same” is not the solution – to meet the challenge of the drivers will require new ways of working, involving the whole health care system in the change process. We do not attempt in this document to provide solutions. Rather, we seek to inform a debate about what those solutions might be. That debate needs to involve patients, the public, NHS staff and our clinical leaders. Its outcome will have considerable influence on the development of the National Framework for Service Change and its subsequent implementation.

    Access to Argyll and Bute (A83) Strategic Environmental Assessment Environmental Report Appendix C: Population and Human Health - Detailed Baseline and Assessment 1 Access to Argyll and Bute (A83) Strategic Environmental Assessment Environmental Report 3. Population and Human Health 3.1 Introduction 3.1.1 This section assesses the potential impacts of the project on the local and wider population in terms of human health, deprivation, social inclusion, rural affairs, tourism and recreation, and safety. 3.1.2 While air quality is explored as a standalone topic in Appendix C (Section 2: Air Quality), this section also makes reference to the potential for air quality effects in relation to human health. 3.2 Methodology 3.2.1 The assessment has been undertaken using a qualitative approach and professional judgement in relation to the SEA objectives and guide questions for Population and Human Health, and the assessment scoring criteria set out in Chapter 6 (SEA Approach and Methods). 3.2.2 The study area for the assessment is focused on the population within the route corridor, as well as the wider context of the Argyll and Bute region. The assessment baseline has been informed by a desk-based study of publicly available sources and mapping data, including (but not limited to): ▪ ProjectMapper (a GIS mapping tool) and AddressBase data; ▪ Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation (SIMD) 2020; ▪ National Records of Scotland and 2011 Scottish Census data; ▪ Scientific literature in relation to human health; and ▪ Relevant national and local development plans and strategies. 3.2.3 Table C3.1 sets out how the sub-topics considered for the assessment and how these relate to ‘population’ and ‘human health’.
