The only change of relevance is that the continuous monitoring site at Isycoed was closed on the 1st Jan. The diffusion tube network is still in operation and I’ve attached the results for 2016. These haven’t been ratified nor have they been BAF corrected as I am waiting for the national spreadsheet to be updated. The monitoring data for 2015 is on the Welsh Air Quality website but I’m not sure whether it’s been ratified yet. In terms of methodology, your proposal to use the new guidance documents would seem wise. -

World Prison Population List Eleventh Edition Roy Walmsley
World Prison Population List eleventh edition Roy Walmsley Introduction This eleventh edition of the World Prison Population List gives details of the number of prisoners held in 223 prison systems in independent countries and dependent territories. It shows the differences in the levels of imprisonment across the world and makes possible an estimate of the world prison population total. The figures include both pre-trial detainees/remand prisoners and those who have been convicted and sentenced. The information is the latest available at the end of October 2015. The data are presented in two parts. Part one, tables 1-5, sets out prison population totals, rates and trends for each individual country. Part two, tables 6-8, provides data on prison population totals, rates and trends by continent, and includes comparison of male and female prison population levels. The World Prison Population List*, like the World Female Imprisonment List (the third edition of which was published in September 2015) and the World Pre-trial/ Remand Imprisonment List (second edition published in 2014) complement the information held on the World Prison Brief. This is an online database available at www.prisonstudies.org, and is updated monthly. The World Prison Population List is compiled from a variety of sources. In almost all cases the original source is the national prison administration of the country concerned, or else the Ministry responsible for the prison administration. Most of the figures are recent and efforts are continually made to update them and to obtain information on the number of prisoners in the countries on which figures are not currently available (Eritrea, Somalia and the Democratic People’s Republic of (North) Korea) or are incomplete. -
Antimicrobial Dispensing in Primary Care in Wales (2006 – 2008)
National Public Health Service for Wales Antimicrobial Dispensing in Primary Care in Wales Antimicrobial Dispensing In Primary Care in Wales (2006 – 2008) Authors: Maggie Heginbothom Date: Status: Final Robin Howe 18/11/09 Report entitled ‘Antimicrobial Dispensing Welsh Antimicrobial Resistance Programme: in Primary Care in Wales’ Surveillance Unit Executive Summary This is the first report from the Welsh Antimicrobial Resistance Programme Surveillance Unit regarding antimicrobial usage in primary care, and is aimed at providing an overview of antimicrobial prescriptions prescribed by general practices and dispensed in primary care in Wales Key points of note are: Antimicrobial usage in primary care in Wales is common In 2008, there were 2,417,104 antimicrobial prescription items dispensed. This equates to almost 1 antibiotic for every member of the population. Antimicrobial use has increased from 2006 Between 2006 and 2007 antimicrobial dispensing increased from 538.9 to 570.2 prescriptions/1000 PUs* (5.8% increase). However, from 2007 to 2008 there was little change in the All-Wales dispensing rate. Antimicrobial use, in terms of amount, varies between Local Health Boards (LHBs) In 2008, dispensing varied from 487.9 prescriptions/1000 PUs per annum to 659.5 prescriptions/1000 PUs per annum. Antimicrobial use, in terms of agents selected, varies between Local Health Boards (LHBs) For example, the percentage use by LHBs of different oral tetracyclines was: oxytetracycline 20-49%, doxycycline 15-48%, lymecycline 5-33%, and minocycline 7-16%. The proportion of total dispensing of antimicrobials that are included in the “Top 9” (amoxicillin, clarithromycin, doxycycline, erythromycin, flucloxacillin, nitrofurantoin, oxytetracycline, penicillin V and trimethoprim) ranged from 70-79%. -
Detection of Echinococcus Granulosus and Echinococcus Equinus in Dogs and Epidemiology of Canine Echinococcosis in the UK
Detection of Echinococcus granulosus and Echinococcus equinus in Dogs and Epidemiology of Canine Echinococcosis in the UK WAI SAN LETT A thesis submitted for the partial requirement of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) University of Salford School of Environment and Life Sciences 2013 Abstract Echinococcus granulosus is a canid cestode species that causes hydatid disease or cystic echinococcosis (CE) in domestic animals or humans. Echinococcus equinus formerly recognised as the ‘horse strain’ (E.granulosus genotype G4) is not known to be zoonotic and predominantly involves equines as its intermediate host. The domestic dog is the main definitive host for both species, which are also both endemic in the UK but data is lacking especially for E.equinus. An E.equinus-specific PCR assay was designed to amplify a 299bp product within the ND2 gene and expressed 100% specificity against a panel of 14 other cestode species and showed detection sensitivity up to 48.8pg (approx. 6 eggs). Horse hydatid cyst isolates (n = 54) were obtained from 14 infected horse livers collected from an abattoir in Nantwich, Cheshire and hydatid cyst tissue was amplified using the ND2 PCR primers to confirm the presence of E.equinus and used to experimentally infect dogs in Tunisia from which serial post-infection faecal samples were collected for coproanalysis, and indicated Echinococcus coproantigen and E.equinus DNA was present in faeces by 7 and 10 days post infection, respectively. Canine echinococcosis due to E.granulosus appears to have re-emerged in South Powys (Wales) and in order to determine the prevalence of canine echinococcosis a coproantigen survey was undertaken. -

Council REPORT NO
AGENDA ITEM NO. 8 REPORT TO: Council REPORT NO: CLF / 12 / 13 DATE: 22 May 2013 LEAD MEMBER: Councillor Malcolm King OBE (Policy, Finance, Performance and Governance) CONTACT OFFICER: Morgan Jones (Tel: 292263) SUBJECT: The Council Plan 2013-17 WARD: All Wards 1. PURPOSE OF THE REPORT To seek Member approval for the proposed Council Plan 2013-17 and for the outcome indicators, targets and improvement activity set out within it. 2. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 2.1 The Council Plan is the overarching plan for the Council. It sets out where we will focus our energies and resources, how we will judge our performance and what the Council’s contribution to ‘Our Wrexham Plan ‘ – Wrexham Local Service Board’s single integrated plan - will be. It is also the means by which the Council agrees its improvement objectives as required by the Local Government (Wales) Measure 2009 and as such is a key focus for our regulators. 2.2 The framework for the Council Plan was developed through a review of the Council’s existing and emerging strategies and the needs assessments and engagement work that underpins them. It also considered Members’ reflections, statutory guidance and comments from regulators – particularly Wales Audit Office concerns regarding appropriate outcomes and measures. 2.3 In December 2011 Executive Board approved a Council Plan framework for 2012-16 to reflect the four year electoral cycle upon which the Council operated. Council then approved this framework in March 2012. As this has now been extended to a five year electoral cycle, it is recommended that the Council Plan is similarly extended to 2017. -
National Rough Sleeping Count, Wales, 2007 and 2008
STATISTICAL ARTICLE ERTHYGL YSTADEGOL National Rough Sleeping Count, Wales, 2007 and 2008 This article covers the national rough sleeper counts which were carried out in March 2007 and again in March 2008 by local authorities, in partnership with other local agencies, in order to gauge the extent of rough sleeping in Wales. The article highlights the issues associated with single-night rough sleeper counts and their likely influence on the accuracy of information on levels of rough sleeping across Wales. 1. Summary • There are a range of factors which can impact on single-night counts of rough sleepers, including location, timing and weather. • The counts carried out in March 2007 and 2008 in Wales are essentially snapshot estimates and can provide only a very broad indication of rough sleeping levels on the night of the count. • Latest data from March 2008 shows that the number of rough sleepers across Wales is likely to be in the range of 128 to 165 people. 2. Results A full set of results, from both the March 2007 and the March 2008 count, are provided in tables 1 and 2. The data shown in these tables however provide only a very broad indication of the level of rough sleeping across Wales. Data based solely upon the observations made by local authority representatives on the night of the count may, as stated in Section 5, be affected by a number of factors including severe weather, inaccessibility to certain areas, local knowledge and other factors specific to a locality. As shown in tables 1 and 2: • In March 2007 local authorities observed 69 individuals sleeping rough and a further 69 instances of other evidence of rough sleeping, leading to a total estimate of 138 rough sleepers in Wales on the night of the count. -

A study of the experiences and perceptions of parents of Black and Minority Ethnic pupils statemented with autism in relation to the educational support provided for their children and for themselves. by Sheladevi Nair A thesis submitted to Cardiff Metropolitan University in partial fulfilment of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Education Cardiff Metropolitan University May 2015 ABSTRACT This study investigates the experiences and perceptions of parents of Black and Minority Ethnic (BME) pupils statemented with autism of the support they receive for their child in education and for themselves. These perceptions are explored alongside the views of stakeholders in education who work to support these pupils and parents. The study expands upon the work of Perepa (2008) who investigated the cultural influences on the understanding of appropriate social behaviour by BME parents of children within the autism spectrum in a London borough. Since then there has been minimal research on BME parents’ experiences of having a child with autism in education, so this study addresses a gap in research. A qualitative case study approach was adopted using in-depth interviews with participants from one selected local authority in Wales. An interpretivist approach was used to gain an understanding of the researched phenomena within a cultural context. The data was managed for thematic analysis using the qualitative analysis software tool, NVivo. The findings reveal that BME parents receive support from the providers within education rather than from their own ethnic communities. They show a preference for mainstream education, although evidence here suggests that there are fewer specialist resources in these schools compared to special schools.
