Recommendations 28 Scrutiny Study of North West Ambulance Emergency Service in Eden District Coverage and Response Times 1. Summary 1.1 What we wanted to do Whilst Cumbria County Council has the statutory duty to scrutinise health services we are aware that, because of the size of the county it cannot usually look at detailed local issues. It was therefore decided, and agreed with the county, that Eden would look at health services in the district to make sure we are happy with the services provided. Following requests from residents and other factors it was decided to begin by investigating the emergency ambulance service in the district. 1.2 How we did it We began by holding four pre-scoping meetings to get up to speed with the current service We met and/or spoke with staff, users of the service and contacted all the parish councils in the district We also met with representatives of North West Ambulance Service, Cumbria Clinical Commissioning Group and Alston Ambulance Service We talked to representatives of Mountain Rescue, Community First Responders and the BEEP (Birbeck Emergency Equipment for Patients) service 1.3 What we found out There was a discussion in the House of Commons on 21 January 2013 when the Secretary of State, Anna Soubry, called for an urgent review of the Ambulance Services That everyone who contacted us or we spoke to said this was not about the ambulance crews, who were in their opinions, professional, caring and competent and wished their sentiments to be reflected in this report The current ambulance service data is designed to meet national response times rather that patient outcomes Response times in Eden district (and the rest of rural Cumbria) is significantly lower than urban areas and therefore affect outcomes The current national commissioning arrangements do not suit rural areas such as Eden district (nor the rest of rural Cumbria) That NWAS propose to make changes to the night time emergency ambulance cover in Cumbria. This will mean the loss of Penrith’s Rapid Response Vehicle (RRV) for 5 hours per night. There are a number of issues in the wider health organisation that impact on the ambulance service such as hospital turnaround times, patients requiring specialist treatment at hospitals outside of the county and emergency calls made when patients cannot see their GP’s or ‘Cumbria Health on Call - CHOCdocs’ (out of hours GP service) quickly. Community First Responders are a key part of the Ambulance Service in Cumbria and especially in Eden district and should be treated in a similar fashion to the Mountain Rescue Service in terms of VAT exemption/compensation. That Eden district needs to keep its ambulance vehicles and staff within the area 1.4 Where we go from here We are asking our MP to take four of our recommendations to the Health Minister to request that the Government investigate the national policies. We are asking the County Council Health Scrutiny to monitor NWAS and the recommendations the Eden Review Group has made. We have asked NWAS to consider some recommendations made and return their comments to us. We will consider progress with our recommendations in November 2014 and April 2015. 1.5 Summary of Recommendations Recommendation Responsible Body Financial Implications Delivery Risks to Timescale Delivery/Officer Comment 1. That the Government investigate the Government None March 2015 consistent failure to achieve the national target times in rural areas 2. That more emphasis should be placed on Government None March 2015 nationally reporting patient outcomes CCG rather than response times 3. A holistic approach to healthcare is Government None March 2015 required as there are pressures on CCG NWAS which are beyond their control such as queuing at A&E departments and problems with the Out of Hours GP service 4. Community First Responders are a key Government None March 2015 part of the Ambulance Service in Cumbria and especially in Eden district and should be treated in a similar fashion to the Mountain Rescue Service in terms of VAT exemption/compensation. 5. NWAS should report the contribution NWAS None March 2015 made by CFR’s to their national response targets and their contribution to patient outcomes 6. A limited extension of the CFR’s remit NWAS None March 2015 should be considered to include attending fall patients where there is low risk to the Recommendation Responsible Body Financial Implications Delivery Risks to Timescale Delivery/Officer Comment responders 7.

Background 2.1 Membership and Terms of Reference 2.1.1 Six members were nominated to the Task and Finish Group. They were: Councillors: Patricia Godwin Neil Hughes Keith Morgan Sheila Orchard Joan Raine (Chairman); and Malcolm Temple 2.1.2 Although Cumbria County Council has the statutory duty for health issues, this topic affects all residents in and visitors to Eden district and was a topic raised by the public during consultations for the 2013/14 Scrutiny Work Programme. 2.1.3 The Group agreed the following Terms of Reference: a) To examine the current performance of the North West Ambulance Service (NWAS) against Category R1 (immediate life threatening calls) and Category R2 (less critical but still urgent) calls. b) To understand the limitations/obstacles that prevent achievement of targets and consider if/how these can be overcome. c) To examine the pattern of Community First Responders (CFR’s) in the district and if/how to develop the scheme. d) To monitor the new approved proposals for the Alston Ambulance Service during the review period. 2.2 Background to North West Ambulance Service 2.2.1 The North West Ambulance Service NHS Trust (NWAS) was established on 1 July 2006 following the merger of the Cumbria, Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Mersey Regional ambulance trusts. 2.2.2 NWAS provides services to a population of around seven million people across a geographical area of approximately 5,400 square miles. The Trust handles in the region of one million emergency calls each year and undertakes approximately 1.2 million patient journeys. 2.2.3 The Trust employs just under 5,000 staff who operates from 109 sites across the region and provides services for patients in a combination of rural and urban communities, in coastal resorts, affluent areas and in some of the most deprived inner city areas in the country. NWAS also provide services to a significant transient population of tourists, students and commuters. 2.2.4 Ambulance services nationally are required to achieve 75% attendance in 8 minutes from the call connect point for immediate life threatening conditions classed as Red 1 (R1) and 75% in 8 minutes attendance from point of triage for all other Red 2 (R2) emergencies. There are no national targets for Green (G1 and G2) categorised calls. 2.2.5 Red 1 - known as immediate threat to life are conditions which may require defibrillation (ie cardiac arrests and respiratory problems).

  • Labour Market Briefing Mar 2021
    Labour Market Briefing Mar 2021 Appendix to March 2021 Labour Market Briefing This appendix is a supplement to the standard Labour Market Briefing and contains February’s ward level data for the Claimant Count/Rate and the Universal Credit Count/Rate. The ward data shown in the tables is for 2019 administrative wards. Maps showing the unemployment rate data at different geographic levels and by age and gender are available by using the data explorer on the Cumbria Intelligence Observatory website (https://www.cumbriaobservatory.org.uk/data-catalog-explorer/) Unfortunately similar maps for the broader Universal Credit claimant rate are not available on the site. Important Notes: Claimant Count (Unemployment) – this is a measure of the number of people claiming benefits who are available for and actively seeking employment and is therefore the best measure of labour market conditions. It is a count of JSA claimants (contribution based and income based) plus Universal Credit claimants in the Searching for Work conditionality group. Due to the easing of UC jobsearch conditions during the Covid-19 pandemic, this will include some furloughed/self-employed people who have jobs but are claiming top-up benefits (although most will be counted in the broader UC count rather than the unemployment count). Universal Credit – this is a count of all Universal Credit claimants in any conditionality group, including those not working, not seeking or able to work and those claiming whilst in work, including most of those who are furloughed and claiming top-up benefits. It is therefore most appropriately used as a measure of income deprivation rather than specifically as a labour market measure.

  • The Baptists and the Cumbrian Religious Censuses
    169 THE BAPTISTS AND THE CUMBRIAN RELIGIOUS CENSUSES The following paper deals with the Baptists in the modern county of cumbria, that is since 1974 the former counties of Cumber land and Westmorland, the district known as Lancashire North-of-the-Sands which is cut off from the rest of the parent county by Morecambe Bay, and a small part of the West Riding of Yorkshire (principally Sedbergh and Dent) which comprised a salient into Westmorland on a level with Kendal. Until 1856 the northern half of Cumbria was under the Diocese of Carlisle, last bastion against the Presbyterian Scots, the southern half under the vast rambling Diocese of Chester, with that most reluctantly Cumbrian area known as Alston Moor in the far east under Durham and later Newcastle. The 1856 formation of the new Diocese of Carlisle brought a religious unity (Alston apart) which was not reflected in administrative circles for one hun­ dred and eighteen years, Cumbria being the most north-westerly English county containing within it the Lake District in the centre (roughly half a.million acres) but the outer ring of coast; .dale and moorland amounting to well over twice this amount. In a county not famed for the numbers of religious adherents and where the Established Church ~ailed to make a significant impression, it was not surprising that the Baptists remained one of the smallest of the Dissenting denominations in Cumbria. The great success of the Quakers in parts of Cumbria during the later 17th century was a response on the part of the iso­ lated and stubbornly independent countrymen to a sect fostering their indifference to Church authority (itself a response to Anglican neglect) and determination to ignore secular govern­ ment.

  • AUDEN and M APS Reflecting on the Links Between His Mature Poetry and the Childhood
    PAYSAGE MORALISÉ: AUDEN AND MAPS Reflecting on the links between his mature poetry and the childhood ”private secondary sacred world‘ deriving from his fascination with lead-mining and its Pennine landscapes, Auden recalled ”necessary textbooks on geology and machinery, maps, catalogues, guidebooks, and photographs‘ (CW p. 424), in which his fantasy-life had been grounded before he ever visited the North Pennine moors. When, earlier, he told Geoffrey Grigson that ”My Great Good Place is the part of the Pennines bounded on the S by Swaledale, on the N by the Romans Wall and on the W by the Eden Valley‘ (17/1/50; Berg),1 he offered a quasi-cartographical definition of a locality both physically specific and metaphysically general, whose geographical boundaries were defined as if visualised on a map œ which is, in fact, the only ”place‘ on which they could ever be observed simultaneously. Critical commentary has noticed the significance of maps in Auden‘s poetry and drama; but as well as constituting a thematic continuity in his writing, maps figure more particularly in its hinterland, featuring in some of the importantly formative books he included in his ”Nursery Library‘ or quoted in A Certain World.2. As with that ”lonely‘ schoolboy mapmaker he drolly but self-referentially admonished (EA p. 50), a fascination with maps possibly suggests the ”autistic‘ dimension he later associated with this phase of his life; but there is some evidence that maps continued to be a means by which older Auden evoked his Great Good Place. In view of the emphasis he would place upon this ”sacred‘ landscape and its evolving meanings, such precursive materials have potential interest.

  • Alston Moor Community Plan 2019
    FINAL DRAFT ALSTON MOOR COMMUNITY PLAN 2019 INTRODUCTION Alston Moor is a small community with big ideas. We are far from any major settlements and our history is one of self-sufficiency by necessity. Over the centuries, the ways in which that is manifested has, of course, changed, as has the demographic of residents, but the factors which contribute to our resilience and community spirit are not so different from those of 300 years ago. Throughout this period, people have moved here and moved away, whether for work or other reasons, and a tradition of welcoming and including new people, of accepting difference, has been important to the strength of the community as it faces changing times and contexts. The purpose of this Community Plan is to provide a collective vision for the future of Alston Moor; a framework to ensure that Alston Moor can continue to be a great place to live and work over the next 5-15 years. We recognise the varying needs of people of different ages, backgrounds and interests, and the intention of the Plan is to enable a good future for everyone here now and those joining us in the coming years. There are significant challenges in the present (particularly after years of austerity and severe cuts to council funding) that are different in detail from those of the past, but not entirely unrelated. Whether we are thinking about housing, transport, communication, jobs, tourism, healthcare, education, social events, sustainable fuel and energy supplies, or anything else, we need to base our plan on today’s realities and think how we want things to work in the future – but these issues are not new to Alston Moor.

  • Unitary Authorities and Cumbria. Report
    Unitary Authorities and Cumbria. Report by Michael Hanley. We are currently going through a process of a major change in local democracy and representation in Cumbria. This has been ordered by Robert Jenrick, Secretary of State for Communities. Last year he approached Cumbria along with North Yorkshire and Somerset to launch the current change. Originally Lincolnshire and Surrey were to be included but they were left out. The process was justified as being a prerequisite for devolution, although a recent statement from Mr Jenrick made no mention of this. History of Unitary Authorities Unitary Authorities were set up after the Local Government Act of 1992 with the purpose of forming a single tier of local government. There was a two tier system in Scotland and Wales until 1996 when a single tier was introduced. The single tier form of government was introduced to Northern Ireland in 1973, a year after the Northern Irish Parliament, Stormont, was abolished. In the England there are now 25 county councils, 188 district councils and 56 unitary authorities (not counting London and metropolitan boroughs). In Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland all councils are unitary authorities. Current Situation There are four district, two borough councils and one county council in Cumbria: Eden, Allerdale, Copeland, South Lakes, Barrow, Carlisle and the Cumbria County Council . All of these councils were required to respond to Mr Jenrick's letter by early December 2020. This resulted in four different proposals. 1. Cumbria County Council: This council proposes a single unitary authority known as "One Cumbria". 2. Allerdale and Copeland Councils propose a West Cumbria Unitary Authority including Carlisle, Copland and Allerdale in the west and an East Cumbria Authority with Eden, Barrow, and South Lakeland.
