    NHS Highland Board November 2019 Item 6 CHIEF EXECUTIVE AND DIRECTORS REPORT – EMERGING ISSUES AND UPDATES Report by Iain Stewart, Chief Executive The Board is asked to: • Note the updates provided in the report. Introduction from CEO The engagement strategy which is helping to shape the ‘Culture Fit for the Future’ has been moving ahead. Fiona Hogg will be giving a detailed update on our progress with our Culture Programme later in the agenda. I am pleased with the progress which is being made, it’s a long-term piece of work which needs careful research and planning to make sure we understand the problems we need to address. There are some key milestones being achieved and presented at this Board meeting. A governance structure is in place and our revised plans are ready to be agreed and rolled out. Many of the actions planned have been shaped by our ongoing engagement with the Board and with our colleagues across North Highland and Argyll & Bute and I’m delighted that our impending review in Argyll & Bute is going to provide further valuable insights and information. In terms of the cost improvement programme, we continue to make good progress, with the current level of identified opportunities valued at £29M which when adjusted for the likelihood of delivery reduces to £22M. Of particular note is that 80% of the forecast savings are recurrent so the savings gain will benefit future financial years. Workstreams are ensuring the remaining plans in this financial year are approved, that ideas are progressed to plans and that changes already implemented go on to deliver the expected savings.

    S. S. N. S. Norse and Gaelic Coastal Terminology in the Western Isles It

    3 S. S. N. S. Norse and Gaelic Coastal Terminology in the Western Isles It is probably true to say that the most enduring aspect of Norse place-names in the Hebrides, if we expect settlement names, has been the toponymy of the sea coast. This is perhaps not surprising, when we consider the importance of the sea and the seashore in the economy of the islands throughout history. The interplay of agriculture and fishing has contributed in no small measure to the great variety of toponymic terms which are to be found in the islands. Moreover, the broken nature of the island coasts, and the variety of scenery which they afford, have ensured the survival of a great number of coastal terms, both in Gaelic and Norse. The purpose of this paper, then, is to examine these terms with a Norse content in the hope of assessing the importance of the two languages in the various islands concerned. The distribution of Norse names in the Hebrides has already attracted scholars like Oftedal and Nicolaisen, who have concen­ trated on establis'hed settlement names, such as the village names of Lewis (OftedaI1954) and the major Norse settlement elements (Nicolaisen, S.H.R. 1969). These studies, however, have limited themselves to settlement names, although both would recognise that the less important names also merit study in an intensive way. The field-work done by the Scottish Place Name Survey, and localised studies like those done by MacAulay (TGSI, 1972) have gone some way to rectifying this omission, but the amount of material available is enormous, and it may be some years yet before it is assembled in a form which can be of use to scholar­ ship.
  • Ross of Mull & Iona Community Plan

    Ross of Mull & Iona Community Plan

    Ross of Mull & Iona Community Plan 2011 In 2010 the Ross of Mull (including Pennyghael and Tiroran) and Iona were identified by Highlands and Islands Enterprise as being an area which could receive support through their Growth at the Edge (GatE) programme. This involved supporting an anchor organisation, in this case Mull and Iona Community Trust, to facilitate community growth through the employment of a Local Development Officer and the creation of a Community Plan based on consultation with the local community and a socio-economic analysis. The project is funded by Highlands and Islands Enterprise & LEADER. The document will always be open to suggestions and changes from the community and should not be regarded as being inflexible.

The plan is an opportunity for our communities to control our development and implement projects, which will be of direct benefit to the Ross of Mull and Iona.

We recognise that we have significant numbers of Gaelic speakers in the communities we serve and intend to better meet their needs. This Plan covers the main functions of NHS Highland, under the headings of Identity, Communications, Publications and Staffing. This Gaelic Language Plan outlines the measures which we plan to put in place to support the promotion of Gaelic through our existing activity and resources. These measures are aimed at raising the status, promoting the use, and encouraging the learning of Gaelic. Gaelic is a key part of the identity of Highland and Argyll & Bute. We must ensure we take the necessary steps in our sphere of influence to secure its future. Our Gaelic Language Plan should also support the Scottish Government in realising their ambitions in relation to Gaelic development. I commend to you our draft Gaelic Language Plan and thank you for the input we have had

It has a varied and indented coast, with open sandy bays contrasting with craggy headlands and skerries. It is renowned for its whisky, having eight distilleries with their distinctive buildings. Tourism and traditional agriculture are the other economic mainstays; many come to Islay to watch the spectacular populations of geese and cliff birds. Away from the distillery buildings, the settlement pattern is mostly agricultural with small crofting settlements near the low- lying coastal areas. Colonsay lies to the north. It is fringed by sandy beaches and is also known for its bird life. Prehistoric and mediaeval monuments, such as Mesolithic mounds and stone crosses, survived relatively well here due to less land-use pressure.

As the Eirst Edition of this work was evidently an object of much satisfaction to the Author, and as its authority has been recognised by its being used so freely by later writers, I have felt in preparing this Second Edition that I was acting under a weighty responsibility both to the public and to Mr. Jervise's memory. Many fields have presented themselves for independent research, but as the plan of the work and its limits belonged to the author and not to the editor, I did not feel justified in materially altering either of them.
