NHS Highland and Highland Council policy

This policy and the associated guidance has been developed to help staff support Adult Survivors of Childhood Sexual Abuse, particularly within health and social care settings.  It includes information on what childhood sexual abuse is; what the indicators of childhood sexual abuse may be in adults; how to assess if people need to be referred to other services; and how NHS Highland and The Highland Councill will assist you in implementing this policy.

As part of Alzheimer Scotland’s strategy for ‘Involvement’, it was decided to participate in the NHS Highland consultation so as to provide a dementia perspective on the proposed changes to the Out of Hours service.

The Directors present their report and the audited financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2011.

This has been a good year for NHS Highland.  We have seen hospital waiting times
dramatically reduced from where they were a few years ago. More and more people are surviving heart attacks, strokes and cancer. Through the skill of our consultants, GPs, nursing staff, therapists and countless others, working in the background, people suffering from all kinds of medical conditions are enjoying a far higher quality of life than could have been dreamed of a few years ago.

These and many other improvements have been achieved through a variety of ways. Not least we have had large increases in funding over the last few years. We are now responsible for spending over half a billion pounds a year which works out at almost £1,700 for every man women and child in the area.
