    JOURNAL OF THE ENGLISH PLACE-NAME SOCIETY Volume 43 (2011) ISSN 1351–3095 ______________________________________________________________ The Black Country David Horovitz (pp. 25–34) ______________________________________________________________ This article is from the Journal of the English Place-Name Society, an annual peer-reviewed journal issued free to members of the Society. The Journal welcomes contributions of articles and notes on subjects of relevance to English place-names. The English Place-Name Society (EPNS) was established in 1923 to conduct a county-by-county survey of the place-names of England. To date, the Survey has produced 90 volumes. Almost all English counties have been surveyed, at least in part, and work to complete the Survey is ongoing. The Survey is used by researchers, academics, and those interested in the origins, meaning, and significance of English place-names. The research work and the publication of the Survey are financed by the annual subscriptions of members of the Society, with the help of grants from the Arts and Humanities Research Council and the British Academy. Since the progress and success of the Survey depend largely upon the strength of the membership, the Society always welcomes new members, both personal and institutional. In return for the annual subscription, members receive free of charge the current issue of the Journal as well as the volume of the Survey allocated to that year’s subscription. They are entitled to order, in addition, any available volume of the Survey at a concessionary price. Associate Members pay a reduced subscription, for which they receive the Journal. Annual subscription prices (correct as of April 2017): Within the UK Outside the UK £40 (full) £45 (full)* £15 (associate) £18 (associate* *increased prices reflect increased postage cost.

  • Freedom of Information .: Sandwell
    Freedom of Information .: Sandwell Enquiry Number - 1-71 7871 839 Request and Response: 1. The current volume of domiciliary care services provided to adults with learning disabilities and mental health need by the council through its in-house service (if there is such provision), in terms of hours delivered in 2014115. The council does not provide in house domiciliary care services for people with learning disabilities and mental health needs. 2. The current volume of domiciliary care services commissioned by the council from private providers, in terms of hours delivered in 2014115. During 2014-15 the council commissioned 67,287.94 hours of domiciliary care for people with learning disabilities and mental health needs in their own homes. These figures are based on planned hours rather than actual hours delivered. 3. The current contractual arrangements the council has entered into with private providers for the provision of domiciliary care services, i.e. Whether the council has a preferred list of providers, if this is open or closed, whether the council operates with Block contracts, Cost and Volume contracts, Individual Service arrangements (Spot contracts), Supplier framework or other arrangements, when the contract arrangement commenced and the duration of the arrangement. The Council operates an approved list of non-residential service providers which is currently open for LD and MH service providers, but closed for generic service providers of domiciliary care. Those successful domiciliary care providers on the list hold a SPOT contract with Sandwell MBC which were entered into on differing dates (please see Appendix 1). Please note all contracts are open ended and therefore have no end dates, except for one where the contract has now ended.
