The Scottish Prison Service (SPS) is an Executive Agency of the Scottish Government. Whilst the Court Custody & Prisoner Escort Services (CCPES) support elements of SPS activities, a significant proportion of the services described in this contract underpin prisoner management and movement activities across Scotland for a number of Criminal Justice Partners: The Scottish Court Service (SCS) which administers, and has responsibility for the management of the estate and the procurement of facilities management services, for the Court of Session, High Court of Justiciary, Sheriff Courts, Justice of the Peace (JP) and Stipendiary Magistrate Courts throughout Scotland. The eight Scottish Police forces that variously operate Police Custody Units (PCU) premises throughout Scotland. In addition the service provider must also liaise closely with the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Services (COPFS) to handle the relevant processes, warrants, and paperwork associated with managing persons in custody. For the purposes of this contract, the SPS is the contracting party on behalf of the Scottish Ministers. The SPS is also the ‘lead’ authority in terms of managing the CCPES contract on behalf of the other Partner bodies. The SPS provides a nominated representative (the Escort Monitor) and other contract management staff who form the primary points of liaison between the Partner organisations and the service provider in terms of monitoring compliance and performance under the Contract. In broad terms, the scope of these Court Custody & Prisoner Escort Services support the movement and supervision of Prisoners between the various Criminal Justice Partners highlighted above. The services comprise two Core Service elements as outlined in the accompanying Specification (Schedule B): 1. Management and supervision of Prisoners in courts and court custody suites (Section C), and the 2. Prisoner escorting across Scotland to and from courts, Scottish Inter-Police Force Transfers including from outwith Scotland, and Prisoner Movements to places of custody (Section B). Prisoner escorting services are further defined into three sub-types of Non-Core Services (Section D): a) Other Prisoner Escorts which are primarily Prisoner Movements to/from prisons to prescribed locations to enable the Prisoner to attend activities such a funeral, marriage or civil partnership, day-patient hospital appointment or other relevant authorised activities. This activity also includes inter-jurisdictional Prisoner transfers between England and Scotland. b) External Escorts such as Scottish inter-prison transfers, inter-prison visits and to enable certain prisoners to travel to community based work placements. c) Hospital Escort and Bedwatch Activity where Prisoners require a period of supervision and confinement (including maternity) in hospital either for a scheduled in-patient procedure or following an emergency. The contract collectively comprises five other Schedules which variously provide the Terms & Conditions of Contract (Schedule A); contract Pricing (Schedule C); Performance Measures and Service Credits (Schedule D); list of Premises where the services may be performed (Schedule E) and the Service Provider’s operational proposal (Schedule F). Part 2 of Schedule C indicates the monthly baseline volumes of activity which the service provider has priced to deliver. The Performance Measures (Schedule D) are separated into two groups: Group A, states time sensitive Performance Measures relating to the collection, arrival, departure and return of prisoners; and Group B, states Performance Measures relating to the general management, care, custody and welfare aspects of the service provisions. In discharging the services, the overriding priorities for the service provider are the prevention of escape, protection of the public, and the security, safety and welfare of the prisoners in custody. Equally important are the requirements to avoid and minimise prisoner release in error and adherence to the principles and specific obligations specified in the contract.

    Integration Joint Board 13Th September 2018 Mental Welfare Commission Themed Visit to People with Dementia in Community Hospital

    Integration Joint Board 13th September 2018 Subject: Mental Welfare Commission Themed Visit to people with dementia in Community Hospitals Purpose: To provide an update as to the feedback from the Mental Welfare Commission (MWC) on their announced inspection visits to people with dementia in community hospitals, highlighting areas of good practice noted and recommendations made for areas of required improvement. Recommendation: Integrated Joint Board (IJB) members to please note the content of the report and consider the implementation of the supporting action plan which has been developed in response to the recommendations of the above noted report. Glossary of Terms AWI Adults with Incapacity IJB Integration Joint Board HSCP Health & Social Care Partnership MWC Mental Welfare Commission NHSAA NHS Ayrshire & Arran 1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1.1 In May 2018 the MWC for Scotland published the “Visiting and monitoring report: Themed Visit to people with dementia in community hospitals” (Appendix 1). The report provides a picture of the experience of patients and carers in community hospitals across Scotland and contains twelve recommendations for IJB’s around improving the care provided within community hospitals, whilst also highlighting areas of good practice. 1.2 Community Hospital Ward Environments: Although ward environments visited were generally found to be clean and in good decorative order, the findings of the report were that more work could be done to make environments more dementia friendly. Furthermore, although there was a strong focus on physical rehabilitation within ward environments, the overall picture was of very limited meaningful and stimulating activity for people with dementia. Wards areas that had access to specialist dementia services and/or a dementia champion were found to display clear benefits in terms of supporting the development of good practice in dementia care.

    Director of Public Health's Annual Report Looks at the Challenges Ahead

    Team Update Issue 74 November 2010 www.nhshighland.scot.nhs.uk Director of Public Health’s Annual Report looks at the challenges ahead Alcohol misuse, smoking and obesity are major public health challenges facing NHS Highland, according to the first annual report from its Director of Public Health. Dr Margaret Somerville’s report also highlights the increasing number of older people in the local population and the corresponding increase in the number of people living with long- term conditions, such as hypertension, depression, asthma, coronary heart disease, diabetes and cancer. And it looks at lessons learned from last year’s influenza pandemic and explains that a major challenge for the future will be preparing and planning for climate change. Dr Somerville, (pictured top right) who took up the post in February of this year, points out that the health service, along with the rest of the public sector, still has to deal with these issues at a time when their budget is under increasing pressure. She said: “This report reflects my own observations about the health of people in NHS Highland in my first few months in post and the major challenges that lie ahead if we are to continue improving health and closing the gap between the best and worst off in society. “With the prospect of real cuts in spending on health over the next few years, it is more important than ever that we do not lose sight of the long-term health improvement work through which we hope to contain and reduce health service use and cost.” Dr Somerville explained that the population of NHS Highland had increased by more than 5% over the last 10 years and was predicted to increase by a further 10% over the next 20 years, with the number of people aged over 75 more than doubling in the same period.

    Croy Ward, Ailsa Hospital, Dalmellington Road, Ayr KA6 6AB

    Mental Welfare Commission for Scotland Report on announced visit to: Croy Ward, Ailsa Hospital, Dalmellington Road, Ayr KA6 6AB Date of visit: 8 March 2017 Where we visited Croy Ward is a fourteen-bed ward within the Ailsa Hospital campus in Ayr; the ward is designated for the assessment of functional mental illness in older adults. On the day of our visit there were seven inpatients. We last visited this service in March 2013. At that time, we made recommendations in relation to the documentation of use and review of restraint; the need for reference to legal paperwork within electronic files; and the need for treatment authorisations to be up to date and accessible for treatment under the Adults with Incapacity (Scotland) Act 2000 (AWI) and Mental Health (Care and Treatment) (Scotland) Act 2003. The intent of our visit to Croy Ward was not only to review the previous recommendations, but also to generally review the care and treatment being received by patients. We are aware that Croy is now one of only six wards remaining at Ailsa Hospital since the transfer of four adult wards to Woodland View Hospital in Irvine over the past 12 months. We were concerned about the impact this may be having on service delivery. In particular, we wondered what, if any, changes there have been to ward resources and whether staff feel sufficiently supported to deliver care and treatment to a high standard. We therefore wanted to meet with patients, carers, and staff members to hear more about this. Who we met with We met with or reviewed the care and treatment of four patients and met with two relatives.
