    Outcome of Consultation on Transfer of Paediatric in Patients and Day

    BOARD OFFICIAL GREATER GLASGOW AND CLYDE NHS BOARD MEETING Director of Planning and Policy 21 February 2017 Paper No 17/03 Medical Director Outcome of Consultation on Transfer of Paediatric Inpatients and Day Cases from Ward 15 RAH to RHC and Next Steps Recommendation: The Board is asked to: - note the outcome of the consultation on proposed changes to paediatric inpatients and day cases at Ward 15 RAH included in the approved 2016/17 Local Delivery Plan; - approve the submission of the proposed changes to the Cabinet Secretary for her consideration. 1. Background and Purpose 1.1 In October 2016 the Board considered the outcome of a programme of engagement and communication with stakeholders on proposed changes to paediatric services at the Royal Alexandra Hospital, Paisley and agreed to proceed to formal public consultation in early November 2016. 1.2 This paper describes the consultation programe and the issues which have emerged to enable the Board to consider whether to approve the proposed changes for submission to the Cabinet Secretary who will make a final decision as this is deemed major service change. 1.3 The proposal is to move paediatric inpatient and day case care from the Royal Alexandra Hospital (RAH) to the Royal Hospital for Children (RHC). This proposal is clinically focussed on improving the acute and specialist services offered to the children of Paisley and the wider Clyde area.

Evidence Session No. 6 Virtual Proceeding Questions 69 - 80 Witness I: Rt Hon Angus Robertson MSP, Cabinet Secretary for the Constitution, External Affairs and Culture, Scottish Government. USE OF THE TRANSCRIPT This is a corrected transcript of evidence taken in public and webcast on www.parliamentlive.tv. 1 Examination of witness Angus Robertson. Q69 The Chair: This is the Constitution Committee of the House of Lords. We are conducting an inquiry into the future governance of the United Kingdom, and our witness this afternoon is the right honourable Angus Robertson, who is Cabinet Secretary for the Constitution, External Affairs and Culture in the Scottish Government. Good afternoon to you, Angus Robertson. Angus Robertson: Good afternoon. Thanks for inviting me. The Chair: You are very welcome. Can we start our discussion with a general question? What is the current state of the union from your point of view, from your Government’s point of view? Given all that is being said at the moment, this is a very topical question and very fundamental to the work that we are doing. Angus Robertson: Of course. In a nutshell, I would probably say that the current state of the union is unfit for purpose.

Glasgow Theses Service http://theses.gla.ac.uk/ [email protected] Neoliberal Urbanism and Spatial Composition in Recessionary Glasgow Neil Gray MRes Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Geographical and Earth Sciences College of Science and Engineering University of Glasgow November 2015 i Abstract This thesis argues that urbanisation has become increasingly central to capital accumulation strategies, and that a politics of space - commensurate with a material conjuncture increasingly subsumed by rentier capitalism - is thus necessarily required. The central research question concerns whether urbanisation represents a general tendency that might provide an immanent dialectical basis for a new spatial politics. I deploy the concept of class composition to address this question. In Italian Autonomist Marxism (AM), class composition is understood as the conceptual and material relation between ‘technical’ and ‘political’ composition: ‘technical composition’ refers to organised capitalist production, capital’s plans as it were; ‘political composition’ refers to the degree to which collective political organisation forms a basis for counter-power.
