  • Minutes of Great Bentley Patient Participation Group
    Minutes of Great Bentley Patient Participation Group Thursday 20th March 2014 Chaired by – Melvyn Cox Present: Charles Brown – Vice Chairman Sharon Batson – Secretary Dr Freda Bhatti – Senior Partner Richard Miller – Practice Manager Approx 50 members present 1. Welcome and Apologies Melvyn Welcomed those present including Dr Shane Gordon Apologies received from Barry Spake 2. Minutes of Last Meeting Agreed 3.Guest Speak – Dr Shane Gordon, GP and Chief Officer, Clinical Commissioning Group The CCG has been in place since April 2013 and is the local NHS statutory body providing hospital and community services in our area, but does not cover general practice as this is provided by NHS England. Big Care Debate – looking at the future of the health service in the Colchester/Tendring areas. 1000 people have been involved in the last 4 months. The main topics are to look at changing the way NHS listens to the people it serves and being more available, and to make local general practice responsible for health services commissioned in the area. Circumstances we find ourselves in 2014 – The Health Service is very protected with regards to funding, services not needed to be slashed as drastically as within Social Services. However the growth in funding is not as fast as the growth in need. More people not working and paying tax, the older you get more medical conditions are likely and therefore costs more money. £400 million allocated to Colchester/Tendring CCG per annum £200 million allocated to NHS England for the area per annum. Under pressure to do more with the same money, £20 million more work in new year with the same money as last year.

  • The Evolution of Puritan Mentality in an Essex Cloth Town: Dedham and the Stour Valley, 1560-1640
    The Evolution of Puritan Mentality in an Essex Cloth Town: Dedham and the Stour Valley, 1560-1640 A.R. Pennie Submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the award of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Research conducted in the Department of History. Submitted: November, 1989. bs. 1 The Evolution of Puritan Mentality in an Essex Cloth Town: Dedham and the Stour Valley, 1560-1640 A.R. Pennie Summary of thesis The subject of this thesis is the impact of religious reformation on the inhabitants of a small urban centre, with some reference to the experience of nearby settle- ments. Dedham has a place in national history as a centre of the Elizabethan Puritan Movement but the records of the Dedham Conference (the local manifestation of that movement), also illustrate the development of Reformed religion in Dedham and associated parishes. The contents of the thesis may be divided into four sections. The first of these concerns the material life of the inhabitants of Dedham and the way in which this generated both the potential for social cohesion and the possibility of social conflict. The second section examines the attempt at parish reformation sponsored by the ministers associated with the Dedham Conference and the militant and exclusive doctrine of the Christian life elaborated by the succeeding generation of preachers. The third element of the thesis focuses on the way in which the inhabitants articulated the expression of a Reformed or Puritan piety and, on occasion, the rejection of features of that piety.
