Each profile provides indicators for a range of health outcomes (e.g. life expectancy, mortality, hospitalisation) and health determinants (e.g. smoking levels, breastfeeding, income, employment, crime, education). These profiles build on the success of both the 2004 community health profiles published by NHS Health Scotland (www.scotpho.org.uk/communityprofiles), and of the ‘Let Glasgow Flourish’ report published by GCPH in April 2006 (www.gcph.co.uk/content/view/17/34/). Whilst these sources continue to be useful, there has been recognition of the need for more up-to-date health data and for information pertaining to the new Community Health (and Care) Partnership (CH(C)P) administrative structures.

  • Jewish Heritage in Scotland

Crown copyright Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Scotland (RCAHMS). Jewish heritage in Scotland sharman kadish The Referendum on Scottish independence in September 2014 and the sweeping gains made by the Scottish National Party in the General Election in May 2015 provided pause for thought about the relationship between the Jewish communities that live in the five territories that make up the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland. On the level of semantics, we must now studiously avoid using the term “Anglo”- Jewry with reference to British Jewry because the pundits consider it outdated.1 Popular usage of the term Anglo-Jewry persists, as a glance at the Wikipedia entry on “British Jews” shows. (I leave aside the whole 1 See Nathan Abrams, Caledonian Jews: A Study of Seven Small Communities in Scotland (Jefferson, NC: McFarland, 2009), Introduction. Jewish Historical Studies, volume 47, 2015 179 180 sharman kadish debate about the reality of the “Jewish community” as opposed to a series of “communities” as beyond the scope of this investigation.) American Jews also use the term “Anglo-Jewish” to refer to themselves in the sense of “English-speaking”, while Jews from English-speaking countries who have settled in Israel call themselves “Anglos” or even “Anglo-Saxim”. Perhaps “British” Jewry should also be avoided, not least because it no longer includes “Irish” Jewry, that is the Jewish community living south of the Republican border.

  • East Renfrewshire Council Must Consult on the Content of the Integration Scheme and the Groups to Be Involved Are Set out in the Regulations
    NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde Board 2o January 2015 Report by Julie Murray CHCP Director EAST RENFREWSHIRE HEALTH AND SOCIAL CARE PARTNERSHIP INTEGRATION SCHEME PURPOSE OF REPORT 1. To seek approval for the Integration Scheme to establish an East Renfrewshire Health and Social Care Partnership and agree to put forward to Scottish Ministers for approval. RECOMMENDATIONS 2. The Board is asked to approve the draft Integration Scheme for submission to the Scottish Ministers. BACKGROUND 3. The Public Bodies (Joint Working)(Scotland) Act 2014 requires health boards and local authorities to integrate planning for, and delivery of, certain adult health and social care services. Regulations made under the Act set out those functions that must be delegated by both the local authority and the health board. However it is also open to them to choose to integrate planning and delivery of other services, for example additional adult health and social care services, beyond the minimum prescribed by Scottish Ministers. 4. The Act requires health boards and local authorities to prepare jointly an integration scheme setting out how the joint working arrangements are to be achieved. There are a number of ways in which they can do this; the health board and the local authority can either delegate their functions to the other party, or both can delegate their functions to a third party known as an Integration Joint Board. This is the approach that has already been agreed by both the Council and the Health Board. The draft scheme, once approved by both parties, must be submitted to the Scottish Ministers for final approval.
