BIBLIOGRAPHY ••• ••• ••• ••• • •• 311 , SYNOPSIS In the summer of 1873 two editors began to publish two distinct groups of explicitly radical working class local newspapers. "Their common objective was to establish a national system of loc~l labour newspapers to challenge the growing dominance of the 'commercial' press. Despite many differences of style, forcat and language - one of Morgan's papers was written entirely in Welsh - these two groups of newspapers attempted to attract a similar type of unionised working class reader, and in many important respects they also propounded a very similar philosop~~ of labour. The thesis outlines the development of "these newspapers and traces the activities of their young and energetic editors. It suggests an explanation of their limited initial successes as journalist agitators and of their subsequent demise in the months and years following 1875, and locates their newspapers within the wider context of radical and Liberal , journalism in the period 1843 to 1891. Four major issues are discussed, the first being the place of the Owen and the Morgan papers in the context of mid to late Nineteenth Century local journalism. The second issue concerns the sociology of the papers' potential readership, whilst the third relates to the financing of the two editors' respective newspaper ventures. Finally, the concept of 'labour journalism' as a distinct form of journalism in this period is examined. Both editors sought to serve the trade unionist and radical- Liberal movements, but both also guarded jealously their editorial independ- ence from either trade union leaders or Liberal politicians. In so doing they not only recorded and fnterpreted events during a turbulent period of labour unrest, but they also provided many diverse groups of semi- and unskilled workers living between North Staffordshire and South Wales with a valuable means of communication and organisation. iv' LIST OF TA.13L~~S Table 1.

Weekly news reports were more than simple reflections of world events, they were chronicles of the political and industrial activity of their editors. The history and the perceived functions of labour newspapers were thus closely associated with the political, persuasions and the personal proclivities of the editors and the journalists who were responsible for their production. These journalists placed their craft at the service of the organised trade union movement, but they never countenanced any direct trade union control over their editorial decisions. TheY,ffiaintained an independent existence whilst eagerly engaging in the local struggles of provincial workers. How, and with what success, they were able to satisfy these obj~ctives will be the main subject of this thesis.' To illustrate the dynamism and the diversity of the alternative .

The most prosaic reader of the history must be impressed with its romantic elements, and these have been brought into special prominence by the various Centenary celebrations all over the country. For the facts embodied in this volume I have freely availed myself of what has been written, not only by those who have taken in hand to set forth in order the history of, the Church whose origin is inseparably associated with Mow Cop, but by the large number of writers who have happily been led during these Centenary years to gather up the facts respecting a given Circuit or District. Many of these local Souvenirs are of deep interest and of considerable historical value. But my first and warmest thanks are due to the Rev.

  • Primary Care Networks Across Staffordshire and Stoke-On-Trent Stakeholder Briefing – 1 July 2019
    Primary Care Networks across Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent Stakeholder Briefing – 1 July 2019 What are Primary Care Networks? In general, people are living longer, and some are living with a number of conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, asthma and mental health issues. Primary Care Networks are groups of GP Practices based around a GP registered list of approximately 30,000 – 50,000 patients, bringing practices together in order to offer care on a scale which is small enough for patients to get the continuous and personalised care they value, but large enough to be resilient, through the sharing of workforce, administration and other functions of general practice. The benefits of these services working together are: • Longer opening hours • Sharing staff • Better access to specialist health professionals • Services closer to home • Ability to share information and technology Primary Care Networks are an important building block of developing our current community services to support better delivery of hands-on, personalised, coordinated and more joined-up health and social care. The creation of PCNs follows the release of new guidance from NHS England on 31 January 2019 to support the delivery of the NHS Long Term Plan. This guidance included significant changes to the GP contract, including the development of PCNs. How Primary Care Networks were formed CCGs were required to meet three key deadlines which were nationally mandated and set by NHS England: 1. All PCNs had to submit registration information to their CCG by 15 May 2019. Each PCN in Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent achieved this deadline. 2.
