DeDtography I Financial Cutbacks 11 12 The trend, which commenced in 1981, of decreasing financial resources being made available to run the North Western Health Board's services brings into focus the particular demographic and other factors which accentuate the difficulties posed by cutbacks in finance. Compared to other health board areas, the North Western Health Board area has the highest percentage of elderly persons, the highest dependency ratio, the lowest average weekly household income, one of the lowest population densities, and a very high ratio of population living over 3 miles from a general practitioner. This Board has also the lowest ratio of acute hospital beds per 1,000 population. Notwithstanding the relative disadvantages posed by many of the factors outlined above. the Board has suffered the greatest cut in financial allocation of all Health Boards. Graphs illustrating the position of the Board as outlined above are detailed in the following pages. 13 ELDERLY PERCENTAGE OF POPULATION AGED 65 & OVER 20 -r---------------------------------------------- 19 + --------------- ------·-·-------------- ---------, 1a -r ----------- ----- --·---·--------·--------------------- ---- --·-·· -- ___ _.

  • Notices on the Geohgy of the North Coast of the Counties of Mayo and Sligo in Ireland. by ARCHDEACON VERSCHOYLE, M
    Downloaded from http://trn.lyellcollection.org/ at Indiana University Libraries on May 11, 2015 [ 149 ] XI.—Notices on the Geohgy of the North Coast of the Counties of Mayo and Sligo in Ireland. BY ARCHDEACON VERSCHOYLE, M.A. Communicated by RODERICK IMPEY MURCHISON, Esq., P.G.S. [Read November 7 & 21, 1832.] THE country I propose to describe, comprises the northern districts of Mayo and Sligo. In constructing the map*, I have used for the former county, the excellent map of Mr. Bald, some fishery charts by Nimmo, and some local surveys; and for Sligo, a corrected copy of Larkin's Map. In connecting the two counties, I have used triangles resulting from the operations of the Ordnance Survey, most liberally communicated by Captain Portlock, with the permission of Colonel Colby; and where doubts and deficiencies in the details occurred, observations were made with a three-inch sextant, or Kater's Compass. The drawings (pp. 158. 162. 165. 167.) are from sketches taken on the spot, with every determination to sacrifice picturesque effect to accuracy. The only notice which has been published respecting this part of Con- naught, is a short but very able and accurate sketch in Mr. Griffith's paper on its Bogs, attached to the 4th Report of the Commissioners. The Ox mountain ridge extends through the district from south-west to north-east. It is chiefly formed of mica slate, hornblende slate, gneiss, and quartz rock, the strata dipping rapidly to the south. At the base occurs a conglomerate, alternating with sandstone and slate clay; and overlaid by the carboniferous limestone, which extends westward from Sligo to the Nefin group.

  • Planning for Health Trends and Priorities to Inform Health Service Planning 2017 Foreword Foreword
    PLANNING FOR HEALTH TRENDS AND PRIORITIES TO INFORM HEALTH SERVICE PLANNING 2017 FOREWORD FOREWORD I am pleased to welcome the publication of Planning for Health: Trends and Priorities to Inform Health Service Planning 2017. This is the second publication designed to support service planning in the Health Service. It was our intention in this report to build upon and augment the data and analyses in the 2016 report setting out current and future healthcare demands and needs. The objective of this report is to build, over time, a robust evidence base that will support a more evidence informed approach to estimates and resource assessment linked to service planning and resource allocation decisions. As with last year’s report, it provides a detailed population focused analysis of current and future needs and demands in terms of demographic pressures for 2017 and also provides a five year forecast to 2022. The Health Service in Ireland will see a rise in demand of between 20% and 30% over the next 10 years. Ireland continues on a trajectory of significant demographic change, with people living longer than ever before. Our population aged 65 years and over is growing by approximately 20,000 each year and is projected to increase by over 110,000 in the next five years. Life expectancy is now greater than the EU average. These very positive developments also present the health service with significant challenges that need to be addressed, in part through better planning and evidence-based resource allocation models. This report marks a further step to utilising current demographic projections, disease prevalence, and service utilisation data and knowledge to support decision-making and inform service design so that we can improve health outcomes in the longer term.

Despite the existence of fairly sophisticated central planning machinery in Ireland and an active desire for reformon the part of the government (with an explicit policy on school location, buildings, curriculum, etc.), the school networks in the County still remain largely outdated and ill-adapted to modern circumstances. This situation results in costly under utilization of resources,a lack of equality of educational opportunity and supply, and inadequate pedagogical provision. The County is highlighted geographically and placed comparatively in the Irish context under the headings of demography, economic and social background, and educational system. Profiles of the school networks are given, and an analysis anda diagnosis are made of the first and second levels respectively. Internal comparative analysis by catchment area is made separately for the two levels under enrollment, transport, teaching staff, curriculum, physical facilities, costs, and financing.
