  • Caithness and Sutherland Proposed Local Development Plan Committee Version November, 2015
    Caithness and Sutherland Proposed Local Development Plan Committee Version November, 2015 Proposed CaSPlan The Highland Council Foreword Foreword Foreword to be added after PDI committee meeting The Highland Council Proposed CaSPlan About this Proposed Plan About this Proposed Plan The Caithness and Sutherland Local Development Plan (CaSPlan) is the second of three new area local development plans that, along with the Highland-wide Local Development Plan (HwLDP) and Supplementary Guidance, will form the Highland Council’s Development Plan that guides future development in Highland. The Plan covers the area shown on the Strategy Map on page 3). CaSPlan focuses on where development should and should not occur in the Caithness and Sutherland area over the next 10-20 years. Along the north coast the Pilot Marine Spatial Plan for the Pentland Firth and Orkney Waters will also influence what happens in the area. This Proposed Plan is the third stage in the plan preparation process. It has been approved by the Council as its settled view on where and how growth should be delivered in Caithness and Sutherland. However, it is a consultation document which means you can tell us what you think about it. It will be of particular interest to people who live, work or invest in the Caithness and Sutherland area. In preparing this Proposed Plan, the Highland Council have held various consultations. These included the development of a North Highland Onshore Vision to support growth of the marine renewables sector, Charrettes in Wick and Thurso to prepare whole-town visions and a Call for Sites and Ideas, all followed by a Main Issues Report and Additional Sites and Issues consultation.

Chief Officer Argyll and Bute Health and Social Care Partnership It is with much regret to report that Christina West has resigned from the post of Chief Officer for Argyll and Bute Health and Social Care Partnership with a leaving date of 30th September 2018. Integration of health and social care has been one of the most significant changes in the public sector for decades. Under Christina’s Leadership she leaves Argyll and Bute’s Health and Social Care Partnership in a positive position to move forward, with plans in place to redesign services not least to meet the demographic challenges. Christina takes with her our grateful thanks, for her hard work, determination and commitment to developing health and social care services for the people of Argyll and Bute. She embraced the Highland Quality Approach and has been an invaluable member of NHS Highland’s Senior Leadership team. The recruitment process is underway to secure a new Chief Officer. Dr Grays Temporary Service Model for Women and Children’s services A new temporary service model for Women and Children’s services at Dr Gray’s Hospital is to be put in place to allow maternity and paediatric service to continue in Elgin. The change comes after NHS Education for Scotland said initial indications were that only two trainee doctors had elected to work at Dr Gray’s at the next intake in August – six less than the number required.

ANSWERS TO PARLIAMENTARY QUESTIONS (Received on 2 July) Government Initiated Question George Adam (Paisley) (Scottish National Party): To ask the Scottish Government when it will publish an update on Scotland’s approach to physical distancing. S5W-30404 John Swinney: The Scottish Government has today published COVID-19: Scotland’s route map through and out of the crisis – Update on approach to physical distancing in light of advice from the Scottish Government COVID-19 Advisory Group which provides an update on the approach to physical distancing in Scotland as we move through Phase 2 and Phase 3 of the Route Map.

The publication also updates on the final stage of Phase 2 of Scotland’s Route Map. Continued progress in suppressing the virus, as measured by the latest data, means that we are able to confirm the indicative dates for the remainder of Phase 2, concerning relaxation of the 5-mile guidance on travel for leisure purposes, the re- opening of self-contained, self-catering accommodation and the re-opening of outdoor hospitality. Changes to allow children and young-people more opportunity to meet up are also set out.

  • Migdale Hospital a Case Study
    Migdale Hospital A Case Study 1 Migdale Hospital Overview The replacement of the Migdale Hospital in Bonar Bridge is a good example of a rural community hospital and sets a helpful precedent for community facilities in remote locations. The product of 15 years work, the project involved considerable consultation with community groups, local councillors, staff, patients, and patient representatives before being constructed and completed in June 2011. The new facility replaces an older hospital building, originally designed as a Victorian ‘Poorhouse’ to support and provide housing for the dependent or needy. A decision was made to sell the original hospital which had become unfit for purpose. This was in part due to restrictions caused by the narrow corridors, 4 and 5 bed wards, inadequate sanitary facilities and split-level Front elevation of Migdale hospital, accommodation, all of which affected the use by long-stay elderly patients. overlooking the Kyle of Sutherland Retention would require a total refurbishment which was deemed unviable. Image credit: John Paul Photography It was considered that a new hospital could more easily provide better integrated care and single-bed rooms, in line with Scottish Government Health and Social Care Directorate (SGHSCD) policy. The new Migdale hospital is a 22-bed community health unit serving the north and west areas of NHS Highland. The hospital has two wards: an Older Adult Mental Health Assessment Unit (Strathy) and a GP Acute Unit (Kyelsku). A number of outpatient services are also provided including Physiotherapy, Occupational Therapy, Audiology, Rehabilitation Classes, and Memory Clinics. Built on a steeply sloping site in Bonar Bridge, the hospital lies close to the main travel routes between Inverness and the North and West of Scotland.

  • Badenoch & Strathspey Redesign Recommendation
    Highland NHS Board 7 October 2014 Item 4.1 PROPOSED REDESIGN OF SERVICES IN BADENOCH AND STRATHSPEY Report by Nigel Small, Director of Operations (South and Mid) and Maimie Thompson, Head of Public Relations and Engagement on behalf of Deborah Jones, Chief Operating Officer The Board is asked to: Consider the detailed report on the feedback from three month public consultation into proposed major service change Note the feedback from the Scottish Health Council endorsing the consultation process Endorse the recommendation in support of the preferred option – to develop Community hospital and resource centre in a central location (Aviemore) Note the next steps and the requirement for any decision on proposed major service change to be considered by the Cabinet Secretary for Health and Wellbeing 1. Background and Summary This paper reflects the culmination of a huge amount of work which has taken place over the past five years as part of a comprehensive engagement exercises with communities in Badenoch and Strathspey (part of South and Mid Operational Unit). In particular it highlights the main findings from the three month public consultation exercise. Within Badenoch and Strathspey some services are not strategically located or adequately resourced making them not as effective or efficient as they need to be to meet future demands. In addition the two local community hospitals are old, not in good physical condition and not designed to meet modern standards. Work has been ongoing to look at these issues with a view to providing sustainable solutions for the future. Through an options appraisal process a local steering group agreed a short- list of three options: Option 1 – Do minimum Option 2 - Community hospital and resource centre in one town (‘hub’) and scaled-down services in the other (‘spoke’), based on existing hospital sites Option 3 - Community hospital and resource centre in a central location (Aviemore) Option 3 was identified as the steering group’s preferred option.

  • Item 4: Caithness and Sutherland Local Development Plan
    THE HIGHLAND COUNCIL Agenda 4. Item CAITHNESS AND SUTHERLAND AREA COMMITTEE Report CS/12/ No 15 26 MAY 2015 CAITHNESS AND SUTHERLAND LOCAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN Report by Director of Development and Infrastructure Summary This report presents a summary of matters raised in responses to the Main Issues Report (MIR) consultation for the Caithness and Sutherland Local Development Plan (CaSPlan), which ran from 30 October 2014 to 6 February 2015. It also presents a summary of matters raised in responses to the Additional Sites and Issues consultation that was undertaken from 13 March 2015 to 24 April 2015. Officers have been giving initial consideration to the matters raised and the report includes recommendations for the Council’s interim position on these for Area Committee’s consideration. The Area Committee is asked to agree the Council’s interim position to guide the preparation of the Proposed Plan, to be referred to the PDI Committee for consideration later in 2015 alongside ongoing environmental assessment and other actions to be undertaken. 1. Background 1.1 Following Area Committee’s approval of the Main Issues Report for the Caithness and Sutherland Local Development Plan at its meeting on 23 September 2014, the MIR and an accompanying Environmental Report were published on 30 October 2014 for public consultation. The consultation ran for a total of 14 weeks; the original deadline of 29 January 2015 was extended to 6 February 2015 due to the postponement and rescheduling of the Brora workshop. 1.2 The MIR was not intended as a draft version of the plan; it was a discussion document that set out initial ideas and options for what the plan needs to achieve for people and places in the area and the Council’s initial preferences for where new development might be located.
