The document summarizes an economic presentation given in November 2011 on prospects for the UK economy and South West region from 2012 onwards. It highlights issues like low growth outlook due to global credit issues, UK's need to eliminate fiscal deficit and rebalance economy, and questions whether the South West is prepared for new economic era. Charts show UK's recovery from 2008 recession has been slower than prior ones and that productivity and net trade are concerns, posing risk to future growth and expectations.
The document contains a chart showing the results of a survey with 36% of respondents selecting soccer as their favorite sport and a table listing the number of votes for each sport, with soccer receiving the most votes at 9. It also includes a bar chart displaying median income by education level with graduate or professional degrees having the highest median income and some tables with additional data on various topics like grain sales, Red Cross expenses, and city populations.

Provision of immediate access to accurate, pertinent, satisfactorily comprehensive clinical information in a dependable and cost-effective manner has long been an elusive goal. Attempts to implement shared record systems (both summary record systems and comprehensive record systems) have proved extraordinarily challenging. However, the Virtual Health Record (VHR) is an entirely new approach to patient information sharing. It is based upon linked regional implementations of a new technology. The methodology commences with a consensus building process amongst providers to determine what information is shared and how it is to be shared? VHR lends itself to an incremental approach to implementation.
Now being implemented in its second and third regions, the Virtual Health Record system is gradually being expanded as the technology and support systems are bedded in and the clinicians across each region learn to trust one another and work closely together to deliver a highly functional and reliable method of communication.
The Virtual Health Record is proving to be a viable method for sharing information across the healthcare ecosystem.
The document summarizes key aspects of the Swedish tax system. It provides statistics on Sweden's GDP and public sector revenues and expenditures. It shows that total tax revenues in Sweden as a percentage of GDP have generally increased since 1966 and are higher than the EU average. The document also outlines the different types of taxes in Sweden classified by national accounts, including indirect taxes, direct taxes, and social security taxes. It indicates that a majority of taxes in Sweden are collected by central government rather than state or local governments. Finally, it compares tax bases across OECD countries.
This document discusses the impacts of recession and welfare reform on poverty and health. It notes that economic downturns can worsen health inequalities and mental health outcomes. Unemployment in particular influences health through both material and psychosocial effects. It emphasizes addressing the social determinants of health, including early childhood support, education, employment, housing, environment, and prevention, to reduce health inequalities. Case studies from Sandwell highlight the benefits of initiatives improving housing, green space, employment, and community inclusion. Overall, the document argues for policies and programs that can realize health, social, and environmental dividends for populations.
Commercial Real Estate and Economic OutlookNar Res
This document discusses the current state of the U.S. economy and commercial real estate market based on a presentation given by Lawrence Yun of the National Association of Realtors. Some key points made are:
- The U.S. economy has now seen 11 straight quarters of GDP growth and has added over 4 million jobs since the recession, though consumer confidence remains subpar.
- Commercial real estate investment and construction have remained tepid compared to previous recoveries, with construction put in place well below pre-recession levels.
- Overall the recovery has been supported by rising personal income, consumer spending, and stock market gains, but government spending has declined from stimulus programs.
Greg Poulsen, vice president of strategy for Intermountain Healthcare, gave the Salt Lake Chamber Capitol Club an inside look at the federal healthcare bill and the effect it will have on reform efforts in Utah.

The document discusses past and projected growth in the global solar PV market from 2001-2011 and beyond. It notes that the market grew at an average annual rate of 52% from 2001-2010, with particularly rapid growth in 2009-2010. Germany has been the leading country for installed capacity but its market may be nearing saturation. Module prices declined sharply from 2008-2010. The document considers whether the solar PV market will continue growing at similar rates or begin to slow and outlines optimistic and conservative scenarios for market growth through 2020.

This document discusses opportunities for the biopharmaceutical industry in Bulgaria. It notes Bulgaria's skilled workforce, political and economic stability, low taxes, and proximity to large EU markets as advantages. Surveys found people view healthcare and the pharmacy/IT industries positively. The biopharmaceutical sector grew 9% in 2010. The vision is to establish a biopharmaceutical company in Bulgaria to take advantage of outsourcing trends, collaborating with local suppliers and international leaders to develop innovative products through R&D, leveraging Bulgaria's competitive advantages.

GDP is the total value of goods and services produced in a country over a period of time. The document discusses GDP reporting, components, and measurement in the US. It provides data on US GDP from 1995-2010, showing steady growth except for declines in 1998 and 2008-2009. Sectors like consumption, government spending, investment, and net exports influence GDP. The income and expenditure approaches are used to calculate GDP.
The document discusses challenges facing efforts to reduce economic disparities between regions in England. It notes that while the goal is to narrow gaps in growth rates, economic performance has always varied between cities and little progress has been made. Barriers include a lack of consensus around the role of core cities, artificial administrative boundaries, and departments prioritizing different approaches. Resolving tensions between priorities of growth places versus places in need remains difficult politically.

It identifies six segments: Onlookers, Conveniently Conscious, Positive Choosers, Vocal Activists, and Principled Pioneers. The segments are defined based on their level of concern, willingness to sacrifice, and primary motivations regarding green issues. The document also examines these groups' media consumption, digital behaviors, and openness to green messages to provide a framework for targeting different consumer segments.

The CEO’s Dilemma - How to drive efficient innovation in the organizationJoeBarkai
Product organizations spend considerable effort and resources on innovation. However, many companies are engages in unfocused and inefficient innovation that does not support the company\'s strategic vision. In fact, many companies seem to engage in innovation for innovation sake and can be characterized as reckless innovators. This presentation discusses the role of lean and efficient innovation and how successful companies focus innovation to help connect business strategy to execution.
The document discusses aligning social and productive investments to accelerate growth. It argues that maximizing synergy between social services and productivity-enhancing investments can lead to better long-term growth outcomes while still meeting short-term social needs. Specifically, adjusting social service compositions to have a greater agricultural focus and exploiting growth externalities of social services can optimize the growth impact of budgets. The document defines convergence as moving from competition over budget levels to cooperation on expenditure composition to jointly maximize social and economic objectives.

El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.

The Role and Importance of Local Authorities for Tackling Homelessness
1. Tackling Homelessness
The Role and Importance of Local
Authorities
Lisa Barker
Homelessness and Housing Support
Department of Communities and local
Government
2. In England: Local Authorities
354 Housing authorities, who have
Strategic Enabling Role, as well as
Statutory duties relating to
homelessness, including
Requirement to produce a Local
strategy to prevent homelessness
and ensure sufficient
accommodation and support are
available for those who are
homeless or at risk of
homelessness. Expectation to
keep under revision
3. Why Local Authorities
Central Govt sets framework which is set out in our
strategy
Local Housing Authorities are uniquely placed within the
community to tackle the problem
In return for duties, govt awards powers and finance
Govt sets performance framework, monitors and rewards
4. Partnerships key
Valuable role and contribution from Third Sector
LAs should work in partnership with VCS in their area
where they contribute to the strategy
LAs can consider working in partnership with other LAs
where there are cross boundary issues or where pooling
can increase available resources.

deposit/bond
Mortgage or rent arrears (4%) Debt counselling, advocacy in court,
resolving HB problems
Person poorly-equipped to sustain tenancy Advice and support (Supporting People),
(??) life skills, budgeting
Lack of information (??) Early, proactive intervention, advice and
good range of options
15. The Challenge for England
Recognise target is a challenge – but it is achievable
B&B target shows what can be done on the ground
London is leading the way on many prevention initiatives
Diversity and Flexibility of London and other Housing
Markets
A threat or an opportunity?
16. What’s the Endgame??
New emphasis on and
professionalism of advice,
prevention and options,
Build Capacity and Innovation
within the LG sector
More households appropriately
housed with access to services
More households offered options
to prevent homelessness
But not a zero target
Settled homes:changing lives
Editor's Notes
2 2 2
Do recognise that the TA target is a challenge – but it is achievable London led the way on meeting the B&B target and was the only region where LAs had 100% success on 31 March 2002. And in vast majority of cases that success has been maintained. Was achieved by the hard work of local authorities and willingness to adapt to new circumstances and ways of working. And we know that London is continuing to lead the way on prevention initiatives And that there is huge diversity and flexibility in the London market. B&B target gave LAs a better understanding of this. Many opportunities for example joint working with private sector. Very pleased that we are able to fund Merton and Sutton’s private sector property store and West London Private Sector Homelessness Solutions through the Homelessness Innovation Fund. Also happy to see launch of the Ealing Safe Haven project. London Boroughs also benefit from working with the voluntary sector and RSLs, eg London and Quadrant scheme to work with LAs to provide properties for homeless families doesn’t happen outside London. We have also provided additional funding totalling £350k to 6 London Boroughs to help with their work to convert TA into settled homes. When I look at this situation I see many opportunities in London
