    BOARD OFFICIAL GREATER GLASGOW AND CLYDE NHS BOARD MEETING Director of Planning and Policy 21 February 2017 Paper No 17/03 Medical Director Outcome of Consultation on Transfer of Paediatric Inpatients and Day Cases from Ward 15 RAH to RHC and Next Steps Recommendation: The Board is asked to: - note the outcome of the consultation on proposed changes to paediatric inpatients and day cases at Ward 15 RAH included in the approved 2016/17 Local Delivery Plan; - approve the submission of the proposed changes to the Cabinet Secretary for her consideration. 1. Background and Purpose 1.1 In October 2016 the Board considered the outcome of a programme of engagement and communication with stakeholders on proposed changes to paediatric services at the Royal Alexandra Hospital, Paisley and agreed to proceed to formal public consultation in early November 2016. 1.2 This paper describes the consultation programe and the issues which have emerged to enable the Board to consider whether to approve the proposed changes for submission to the Cabinet Secretary who will make a final decision as this is deemed major service change. 1.3 The proposal is to move paediatric inpatient and day case care from the Royal Alexandra Hospital (RAH) to the Royal Hospital for Children (RHC).

  • Four Corners 60
    Scotland’s Jewish Gathering They came from the north and the south, they came from the east and the west! More than 150 Jewish people from all over Scotland – from the Western Isles and the Grampians to Galloway, from all strands of Judaism and none, aged from 3 to 83 – converged on Edinburgh Synagogue DIAMOND ISSUE DIAMOND and Community Centre over the weekend of 26th to 28th October for a programme of inspiring speakers, rousing music, stimulating discussion – and just getting to know one another better. Guest speakers included Board of Deputies vice-president Edwin Shuker, who had fled from Baghdad just before his bar mitzvah and spoke emotionally about his gratitude that he lives in a country where the Jewish community can thrive. Scottish Justice Secretary Humza Yousaf, speaking after news of the atrocity in Pittsburgh had broken, expressed sympathy and solidarity with the victims and with Jewish people throughout the world, and reiterated the Scottish Government’s commitment “to tackle prejudice and build the society we want to be, where each person, every family, and all communities can flourish.” The programme included a special open meeting of SCoJeC’s Council, and there were also discussions on tackling demographic change, women in Judaism, mental health, Jewish schools, fundraising, and the use of technology and social media. There was a stirring candle-lit musical Havdalah, a sing-along klezmer session, and separate activities for the 20 children aged 3 to 16. The final session was an unprecedented panel of the chairs of all Scotland’s Jewish communities, whose discussion of the challenges and opportunities facing them quickly turned into agreement that what they have in common hugely outweighs their differences of geography and affiliation.

I hope you will be able to add your support to these deeply concerning matters. I thank you and your governments support on LGBT community. I look forward to hearing your response to my email FWD below. Kind Regards, [REDACTED] Sent from my iPhone Begin forwarded message: From: [REDACTED] <[REDACTED]> Date: 16 July 2020 at 14:37:30 BST To: [REDACTED] Cc: [REDACTED] Subject: Come Out for Trans Equality and call for a ban on conversion therapy Dear Rona Mackay, Kenneth Macintosh, Neil Bibby, Maurice Golden, Maurice Corry, Mary Fee, Jamie Greene, and Ross Greer Trans people in the UK still experience profound discrimination in every area of their lives; from things like unemployment to health services. A crisis like COVID-19 poses a greater risk in deepening those inequalities. It’s been over two years since plans to reform the Act were announced and nearly a year and half since the Government’s GRA consultation closed, and we’re still waiting to hear about the results. The UK Minister for women and equalities did announce the Government will be putting forward proposals for GRA reform ‘by summer’. However, she also made some worrying points that the wider LGBT community - need to understand more about urgently. The Minister commented on trans people’s access to single-sex services and the ‘checks and balances’ that will be in the new system.
