PPE: Mr Neil Guckian presented the latest position on PPE: The Trust has always had confidence in the modelling for demand based on guidance and guidance changes. Modelling is consistent with all NHS models and informs regional approach. With a science based approach all reserves and usage are not currently challenged. Almost 90% of all PPE usage is in the community. Overview comparison to consider is that the usage in generic PPE products has increased over 2,500% while global prices have increased by over 1,000%, including where we source in N Ireland. The Trust continues to work with staff at all levels, to ensure they feel safe and a team continually working on this. For supplies and distribution of PPE our suppliers have worked closely with us, both locally and regionally. Interface teams working directly with the Independent Sector have worked really well with good regional working and clinical involvement. In respect of donations and local procurement we continue to be careful and items must have certification while a local clinically led Product Assessment Group continue to quality assure all items.

  • Mr Mark Durkan MP SDLP Second Floor 23 Bishop Street Derry BT48 6DJ 19Th October 2010 Dear Mr
    Mr Mark Durkan MP SDLP Second Floor 23 Bishop Street Derry BT48 6DJ 19th October 2010 Dear Mr. Durkan, Further to the recent visit to the home of Pauline Mellon by Cllr Shaun Gallagher we received a letter from Cllr Gallagher in response to our original question. In light of Cllr Gallagher's behaviour directed towards a mother of three children we felt it prudent not to write to Cllr Gallagher directly. In response to Councillor Gallagher's letter of 16th October to the question posed by the GCRG: We would like to raise the following points: 1. Cllr Gallagher states that apparently after the disbandment of the 'Shantallow Partnership Board' all names were transferred to the ONNP. 2. Cllr Gallagher states he has not attended an ONNP meeting for at least 12 years. 3. Cllr Gallagher states that Mr. John Thompson was chair of the organisation – and may be able to give more accurate dates. Residents made contact with Mr. John Thompson and elicited the following information: 1. Mr. Thompson is unaware of the existence of, or has he ever been a member/chair of any organisation called the ' Shantallow Partnership Board'. Mr. Thompson also clarified that he has never been a member of the ONNP in any capacity, and has not been a member of any organisation whose membership was transferred to the ONNP. 2. Mr Thompson was chair of the Greater Shantallow Area Partnership, this organisation was not disbanded, and is currently based at the Northside Complex, mere minutes from Cllr Gallagher's home. 3. Cllr Gallagher's claim that he has not attended a meeting of the ONNP for at least 12 years is interesting in that: the ONNP was established in 2005 -(see attached screen shot from ONNP website).

The range of initiatives access over 170 projects, which includes a mix of regular commissioning work and innovative development work testing new ideas. Over 250,000 individuals and groups were direct beneficiaries of the programmes; however, previous evaluations have demonstrated that the cascade effect of these initiatives was at least threefold. One of the major challenges this year was addressing a fluent financial environment; in one hand having to yield baseline funding for efficiencies while on the other bidding for in-year non-recurrent funding from new funding earmarked under the Programme for Government for Public Health.
