  • Mental Health Services North East Sector Annual Report 2003/04
    NorthEast Sector Annual Report 2003 – 2004 The new Arran Centre The new Easterhouse Community Health Centre – incorporating Auchinlea Resource Centre and the previous Health Centre 1 Section 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The last year within the North East sector has been another period of significant activity. In comparing the prospective developments from last year’s report, much has been achieved and this introduction will cover some of these achievements later on. Firstly though it is worth recalling that the driver for the production of Annual Reports came from what was then the Divisional Clinical Governance Committee. The North East Sector received very positive feedback when the sector report was presented to the committee last year and also by written feedback in the form of a standard evaluation report. Looking back over the past year and the targets that were set then, the following key milestones have been achieved: • Wyndford Lock Nursing Home has been closed and patients have been accommodated in alternative forms of accommodation. All staff have been redeployed to alternative posts. • A new North East addiction Unit is about to open at Stobhill which will mean that Ruchill Hospital will at last benefit from improved patient activity space and staff will have some changing facilities. It will also result in a reduction of admission beds in each ward from 30 to 24, creating much needed patient activity space at Parkhead. • A new North East IPCU will open within the next few weeks at Stobhill which will have dedicated Consultant and Staff Grade Psychiatrist cover. This will also increase the amount of much patient activity space at Parkhead Hospital.

  • National Mental Health Services Assessment
    Greater Glasgow NATIONAL MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES ASSESSMENT LOCALITY REPORT GREATER GLASGOW December 2003 Greater Glasgow Introduction The remit for the National Assessment means that the focus in the locality reports is on what needs to be done locally to deliver the new provisions of the Mental Health (Care and Treatment) (Scotland) Act 2003. With that in mind the many examples of good care seen across Scotland are not covered in the individual reports. This should not be taken as a negative. Every effort has been made to achieve consistency in each report. There are however variations in those cases where the local arrangements vary sufficiently to warrant some variety in the presentation of findings. For example not all information was available for or from each area in the same format or with the same coverage and where this is the case it is stated. The wide-ranging nature of the responsibilities that the Act places on local authorities means that it was virtually impossible to assess the services provided by them or the voluntary sector in a short timescale, although there are examples of services across Scotland in the Full Report. In no way should this be seen as devaluing the local authority contribution or minimising the additional demands placed on the Councils. The findings arising from the visits and review of existing information can only represent a snapshot in time and in many cases the local situation will now be different. However, the purpose is to provide a shared, validated information base to start from and to plan for the successful and timely implementation of the new legislation.

    Ruchill and Possilpark Thriving Place Our Community Plan (24.08.17 Draft) Page 1 of 27 What is our community plan? Our community plan is the Locality Plan for Ruchill and Possilpark. It is one of the ways that Glasgow’s Community Planning Partnership will be trying to tackle inequalities; supported by Glasgow City Council’s Local Outcome Improvement Plan. Our community plan has been produced by people who live or work in Ruchill and Possilpark. It tries to tell the story of the area so far and sets out how together local people, organisations and services can make changes that local people would like to see in Ruchill and Possilpark over the next ten years. Our plan tells you about the work that has been done so far by local people, organisations and collaboratively through Thriving Places. It sets out what we hope to achieve together. Our plan describes different ways you can get involved in achieving change in Ruchill and Possilpark if you want to participate. All our partners within Community Planning are fully committed to the delivery of these plans. Without local people and our partners working together we cannot achieve what these plans set out.
