  • Journey of Recovery Needs Assessment
    A Journey of Recovery Supporting health & wellbeing for the communities impacted by the Grenfell Tower fire disaster This report This report The report considers the primary impacts on the health and wellbeing of those affected by the Grenfell disaster, and makes a number of recommendations to support the journey to recovery. In doing so, it has attempted to draw on a range of evidence and insights, to help those involved with recovery at any level in the work they are doing. It brings together evidence about: ñ The characteristics of the communities prior to the fire. ñ Evidence from the impact of other disasters both from the UK and internationally to learn from the experience of elsewhere. ñ Analysis of data on the impact of Grenfell one year one to try and understand both the nature and scale of the impact. ñ The voice of people in the community on what matters most to those who have been affected and what is important in recovery to them. Report authors and contributors Jason Strelitz, Chris Lawrence, Clare Lyons-Amos, Tammy Macey Acknowledgements We would like to thank all the residents and those working across North Kensington who have contributed to this report in many ways, and in particular to Natasha Elcock and Bilal Elguenuni from Grenfell United for sharing their insights and reflections. We would also like to thank many colleagues in Kensington and Chelsea Council, West London Clinical Commissioning Group and Central and North West London (CNWL) NHS Foundation Trust who have helped developed this report.

  • The Midland Spinal Injury Unit at the Robert Jones and Agnes Hunt Orthopaedic Hospital, Oswestry
    PARAPLEGIA lectures on specific problems in spinal lesions and rehabilitation. In the course of this programme we also train physiotherapists, occupational therapists and, above all, nursing staff. Refresher courses may take one to three days, while more comprehensive training courses take three to four months. Candidates for a doctor's degree are working in smaller groups when investigating special pro­ blems of paraplegia. Through scientific congresses and by advanced training courses for physicians and surgeons we are trying to collect and widen our experiences in this particular subject of medicine. We seek, as other specialists do, close co-operation with other branches of medicine which are involved in the treatment of paraplegics and tetraplegics. In order to achieve such a close relationship we are going to organise inter­ disciplinary lectures to stimulate the exchange of experiences with other branches of medicine. Another field of importance to which we give much attention is documenta­ tion and collecting of material dealing with rehabilitation as a special medical problem. In this respect we have established contact with other paraplegic units to pool experience on both medical and social problems. One day when discussing rehabilitation problems with a well-known professor and director of a large university hospital, he expressed concern that a rehabilitation centre for paraplegics of the size of the Heidelberg centre might, like a hydro­ cephalus, disturb the organisational equilibrium of a hospital. While I can understand his concern, I cannot accept this view at all. I believe that a rehabilita­ tion centre of this size may certainly become an important section of a large hospital and it may even become an integral part of the whole medical faculty of a university and may, by its initiative and work, exert a beneficial influence on other sections of the hospital and medical faculty as a whole.

  • Cabinet Committees
    Published on The Institute for Government (https://www.instituteforgovernment.org.uk) Home > Whitehall Explained > Cabinet committees Cabinet committees What are cabinet committees? Cabinet committees are groups of ministers that can “take collective decisions that are binding across government”.[1] They are partly designed to reduce the burden on the full cabinet by allowing smaller groups of ministers to take decisions on specific policy areas. These committees have been around in some form since the early 20th century. The government can also create other types of ministerial committees. In June 2015, David Cameron introduced implementation taskforces, designed “to monitor and drive delivery of the government’s most important cross-cutting priorities”[2], although these were discontinued when Boris Johnson became prime minister in July 2019. In March 2020, Boris Johnson announced the creation of four new ‘implementation committees’[3] in response to the coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic. These four committees focused on healthcare, the general public sector, economic and business, and international response. The four committees were chaired by Health Secretary Matt Hancock, Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster Michael Gove, Chancellor of the Exchequer Rishi Sunak and Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab respectively. Each committee chair fed into a daily ‘C-19 meeting’ of the prime minister, key ministers and senior officials, to discuss Covid-19. These ‘implementation committees’ were replaced by two new Covid-19 related cabinet committees in June 2020 – ‘COVID-19 Strategy’ and ‘COVID-19 Operations’. On 13 May 2020, the Cabinet Office also announced the creation of five new ‘roadmap taskforces’[4] – committees intended to help guide certain sectors of the UK economy out of the Covid-19 induced lockdown.
