Publication Scheme for Powys Community Health PUBLICATION SCHEME FOR POWYS COMMUNITY HEALTH COUNCIL What a Publication Scheme is Community Health Councils are independent bodies which are accountable to the National Assembly for Wales and the Minister for Health and Social Services for meeting their statutory representative and financial duties. The National Assembly for Wales together with NHS Trusts, Local Health Boards and Community Health Councils, General Practitioners, Dentists, Pharmacists and Opticians providing NHS services are individually required to provide a publication scheme under the Freedom of Information Act. This Publication Scheme is a complete guide to the information routinely published by Powys Community Health Council. It shows how this information is published and whether any fee is payable. We will review the Publication Scheme at regular intervals and monitor how it is operating. It is important to us that this Publication Scheme meets your needs and we have designed it to be a route map so that you can find information about Powys Community Health Council easily. Under Section 19 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (there is a link to the Act in Part Three below), Powys Community Health Council has a legal duty to adopt and maintain a Publication Scheme for the publication of Powys Community Health Council information. The purpose of the Act is to promote greater openness by public authorities (of which Powys Community Health Council is one). The Publication Scheme is in three parts, as follows: PART ONE: Introduction PART TWO: The Classes of Information that we hold PART THREE: Useful Resources and Publications PART ONE: INTRODUCTION Community Health Councils were set up by Parliament in 1974 as independent bodies ‘to represent the interests of the public in the health service in their district’. In 2001 the Welsh Assembly Government made the decision to retain Community Health Councils in Wales. This resulted in the reorganisation and grouping of 20 Councils in Wales into nine Federations. The NHS Wales Act 2003 provided for the Association of Welsh Community Health Councils to evolve into the Board of Community Health Councils in Wales (the Board) effective from April 2004. During 2009 the Welsh Assembly Government further deliberated and consulted on the role of Community Health Councils in Wales with the result that from 1st April 2010 seventeen Community Health Councils were dissolved and six new Community Health Councils created in their place. The boundaries of these new CHCs were co- terminous with the Local Health Boards. The two existing CHCs in Powys and Gwent CHC remained unchanged, but from 1st April 2010 Gwent CHC was renamed to be known as the Aneurin Bevan Community Health Council. Further changes were introduced on 1st April 2015 with the Community Health Council Regulations 2015 (SI 2015 No 509) when Brecknock and Radnor CHC and Montgomeryshire CHC were amalgamated to form Powys CHC. Each CHC is required to establish Local Committees, the boundaries of each Local Committee co-terminus with the corresponding Local Authority with CHCs delegating functions to the Local Committees. Community Health Councils act as watchdogs for the NHS in Wales. Their main role is to: Monitor the effectiveness of NHS planning. Evaluate the quality of services provided. Ensure that the views of patients and members of the public are fairly represented in any important decision making process. Assisting and supporting patients and the public with any complaints against the Health Service. Information Management Community Health Councils are developing information management policies for record keeping and disposal. Information published through this publication scheme will be held in line with these policies. Information not required for the business purposes of the Community Health Council is stored at Neuadd Brycheiniog, Cambrian Way, Brecon LD3 7HR. In our Publication Scheme you will find descriptions of the kind of information we intend to publish – the heading for these descriptions are called ‘Classes of Information’. Sometimes, we will not be able to publish all the information which is held by the Community Health Council. In these instances, we will tell you why. We will not be publishing personal or sensitive information and at all times we will have regard to the Data Protection Act and the Human Rights Act. We will also tell you, in each Class, what the limitation of time is on information we publish – if you want to see information in that Class which is older, please contact the person shown in the scheme. In addition to the information we publish, the scheme contains information about other bodies eg the Board of Community Health Councils in Wales, which might also hold information relevant to the work of Community Health Councils. We undertake to review this scheme at regular intervals with a view to extending the range of documents we routinely make available. How is this information made available? You can read or download it through our website via this address http://www.communityhealthcouncils.org.uk/powys You can request a hard copy from: Kirsten Jones, Business Manager Powys Community Health Council, Address: Neuadd Brycheiniog, Cambrian Way, Brecon LD3 7HR Tel: 01874 624206 E-mail: [email protected] Alternatively, you may wish to make an appointment to inspect the information you require by contacting the person shown above. If there is a limitation on how particular information can be made available, we will tell you. Feedback If you have any queries, comments or complaints about the operation of the Publication Scheme, or how we have dealt with your request for information from the Scheme please contact: Kirsten Jones, Business Manager Powys Community Health Council, Address: Neuadd Brycheiniog, Cambrian Way, Brecon LD3 7HR Tel: 01874 624206 E-mail: [email protected] Your Rights of Access to Information. Freedom of Information Act The Freedom of Information Act recognises that everyone has the right to know how public services such as Community Health Councils are organised and run, how much they cost and how you can make complaints if you need to. You have the right to know which targets are being set, the standards of services that are expected and the results achieved. From 1st January 2005 every Community Health Council has to respond to requests about the information which it holds and a right of access to that information is created. The rights to request and access this information are subject to some exemptions, which the Community Health Council has to take into consideration before deciding what information can be released. Code of Practice on Openness At the present time, in addition to accessing the information identified in this Publication Scheme, you are entitled to request information about Powys Community Health Council under the Code of Practice on Openness in the NHS issued by the Welsh Office in 1995. Hard copies of this document are available free of charge from the NHS Wales Department of the Welsh Assembly Government. Sometimes, some or all of the information requested cannot be provided and we will explain the reasons why in our response should this happen. Data Protection Act Under the Data Protection Act 1998, you are entitled to access personal information held about you, and you can contact: Kirsten Jones, Business Manager Powys Community Health Council, Address: Neuadd Brycheiniog, Cambrian Way, Brecon LD3 7HR Tel: 01874 624206 E-mail: [email protected] Welsh Language Standards The Welsh Language Standards for Powys CHC imposition date was 31st May 2019. Some standards have been challenged and the outcome of these remain outstanding. Environmental Information Regulations The Environmental Information Regulations which came into force in 1993 set the standard for the release of information about the environment in which we live and work. These are likely to be strengthened under a European Union Directive. Until the new Regulations come into force information relating to the Environment can be requested using the existing regulations and the Code of Practice on Openness in the NHS. PART TWO: CLASSES OF INFORMATION In adopting this Publication Scheme we are committed to being as open as possible but there are instances where, for legitimate reasons, certain parts of the information will be withheld. The Freedom of Information Act 2000 permits the withholding of material which is covered by its exemptions. Exempted material can include information which identifies particular individuals and information provided in confidence. The information we hold is grouped into broad categories as follows: 1. NHS Wales and how we relate to it 2. Our structure and how we carry out our statutory functions 3. Human resources 4. Consultation exercises 5. Financial information and funding 6. Communications with the Press and Media Releases 7. Complaints 8. Environmental Information 9. This Publication Scheme The information in this Publication Scheme was last updated in August 2019 1 NHS WALES AND HOW WE RELATE TO IT The NHS in Wales Recent changes in the NHS in Wales has involved Health Trusts being amalgamated with Local Health Boards. There are 7 Local Health Boards in Wales with specific geographic responsibility and also Health Trusts with specific specialist roles i.e. Welsh Ambulance Services NHS Trust and Velindre NHS Trust.

  • The Sovereignty of the Crown Dependencies and the British Overseas Territories in the Brexit Era
    Island Studies Journal, 15(1), 2020, 151-168 The sovereignty of the Crown Dependencies and the British Overseas Territories in the Brexit era Maria Mut Bosque School of Law, Universitat Internacional de Catalunya, Spain MINECO DER 2017-86138, Ministry of Economic Affairs & Digital Transformation, Spain Institute of Commonwealth Studies, University of London, UK [email protected] (corresponding author) Abstract: This paper focuses on an analysis of the sovereignty of two territorial entities that have unique relations with the United Kingdom: the Crown Dependencies and the British Overseas Territories (BOTs). Each of these entities includes very different territories, with different legal statuses and varying forms of self-administration and constitutional linkages with the UK. However, they also share similarities and challenges that enable an analysis of these territories as a complete set. The incomplete sovereignty of the Crown Dependencies and BOTs has entailed that all these territories (except Gibraltar) have not been allowed to participate in the 2016 Brexit referendum or in the withdrawal negotiations with the EU. Moreover, it is reasonable to assume that Brexit is not an exceptional situation. In the future there will be more and more relevant international issues for these territories which will remain outside of their direct control, but will have a direct impact on them. Thus, if no adjustments are made to their statuses, these territories will have to keep trusting that the UK will be able to represent their interests at the same level as its own interests. Keywords: Brexit, British Overseas Territories (BOTs), constitutional status, Crown Dependencies, sovereignty https://doi.org/10.24043/isj.114 • Received June 2019, accepted March 2020 © 2020—Institute of Island Studies, University of Prince Edward Island, Canada.

  • Programme for Government
    PROGRAMME FOR GOVERNMENT WELSH GOVERNMENT Programme for Government gov.wales 1 PROGRAMME FOR GOVERNMENT Foreword Today, I am proud to be publishing the Welsh Government’s Programme for the 6th Senedd. This Programme for Government is being published much earlier than has been the case in previous years as I want to demonstrate to the people of Wales that they can have absolute confidence that their government is moving quickly and purposefully to turn the commitments that we made during the election into Mark Drakeford MS prompt action. FIRST MINISTER OF WALES Our government programme sets out the ambitious and radical commitments we will deliver over the next five years in order to tackle the challenges that we face and improve the lives of people across Wales. It is founded on the distinctively Welsh values of community, equality and social justice. It puts collaboration ahead of competition, showing how we will act to maximise fairness for all and eliminate inequality at every level of society. People in Wales look after each other, and this programme is built on exactly that principle. The Programme for Government shows how we will help the NHS and social care providers to recover and move forward following the extraordinary challenges they have faced this year, investing in the frontline staff who have worked so hard and who have made us so proud. It outlines how we will work in social partnership to create new jobs in the industries of the future, and to transform our economy into one which is greener and fairer. The Programme shows how we will act decisively to tackle the climate and nature emergency so that people can go on treasuring Wales’ rich natural resources for generations to come.

  • A Long Walk to Berwick
    A long walk to Berwick The Great Outdoors magazine, November 2016 I’d been a long time getting to Berwick: you could reckon it in hours, years or decades, depending where you started from. Hours: eight. That wasn’t bad for 23 miles from Wooler. Years: ten, since I’d set out from Land’s End with a vague plan, to walk 800 miles across England, a bit at a time. Decades: six and a bit. I never before had found the excuse to walk through Berwick-upon-Tweed, though I’d shot past it on the train often enough, and it seemed a nice sort of place to go to, with its border history, estuary location and recently-ended war with Russia. The vagueness of my plan to cross England was very much the point. That unholy trinity of work, family and finance meant that opportunities to get into the great outdoors from my London home were all too limited, essentially just one short break a year, everything else just local lowland walking. I’d got frustrated with cherry-picking different bits of the nation each year – the North Devon Coast one time, the Black Mountains another, say. I was the sort of guy who needed a plan, one that involved a nice B&B at the end of the day. I didn’t do spartan. And that plan, before England, was Wales, starting 2002. I’d walked Offa’s Dyke Path a few years before, and it came to me that finding and walking a different, wilder, hillier line across that grand little nation might be fun.

  • Ending Residual Paramilitary Domination in Northern Ireland? Restorative Economic and Social Inclusion Strategies
    WORKING RegNet Research PAPER Papers WORKING PAPER In association with The Understanding Conflict Trust, Northern Ireland Ending Residual Paramilitary Domination in Northern Ireland? Restorative Economic and Social Inclusion Strategies. Kirsty Campbell, St Andrews University Derick Wilson, Ulster University John Braithwaite1, School of Regulation and Global Governance (RegNet), Australian National University Abstract Paramilitary violence in Northern Ireland is unfinished but finishable. In response to the 2016 ‘Fresh Start’ Panel report (Northern Ireland Government 2016) on disbanding paramilitaries, is it time to finish through a restorative peace? This would require a focus on building justice as a better future for excluded working class neighbourhoods, challenging political and civil society organisations to unequivocally embrace the task of reconciliation, and resourcing a restorative strand of victim support complementing the valuable work of the current Commission for Victims and Survivors and the Victims and Survivors Service. Responsive adaptation of an ‘Operation Ceasefire’ policing strategy might also help underwrite restorative communities and restorative learning networks that do most of the work. Today’s elites could consider a shift from their neoliberal frames to acknowledge their own ambivalence around the complete rejection of violence and the class character of the Northern Ireland Troubles, so often trumped by the identity politics of that ‘ethnic frontier society’ (Wright 1987: 1-54). Restorative economic and social
