Health needs assessment : coronary heart disease stage 2
In order to provide a more comprehensive document, parts of Stage 1 have been included in Stage 2 of the Health Needs Assessment for Coronary Heart Disease. The basic statistical information used in Stage 1 has been extended and refined, providing a clearer picture of the condition and the impact it makes on the allocation of resources. Consultation has been held with a range of service providers to assess the existing workload and methods of care, with consideration given to identifying deficiencies in the present service and developments in the range of investigations or treatments which might be included in our recommendations. Information has also been sought on the present cost to the health service of coronary heart disease, with a view to assessing the need and possibilities for reallocating these resources. Having considered these factors, the final section includes recommendations for the consideration of the Purchasing Group with regard to both the setting of contracts, and the monitoring of the quality and extent of the service supplied by the Provider Units

Unless there is a massive and unexpected change in current trends, inequalities in health within Greater Glasgow and between Greater Glasgow and the rest of Scotland are likely to increase. No apology is made for returning to the theme of inequalities in health in this year's report even though it was highlighted in previous years because it is the most striking and important aspect of health in Greater Glasgow. Chapters 16 and 17 describe some of the imaginative projects the Greater Glasgow Health Board and others have initiated to confront the problem. Nonetheless, much more needs to be done
Annual report and accounts 1991-92
In December we opened the first Scottish Heart and Lung Transplant Unit at the Glasgow Royal Infirmary which will be of enormous benefit to the country as a whole. It is hoped we can encourage more people to donate organs which can give life - or sight - to many who await these wonderful opportunities in deep hope. Major achievements in health care include the partnership development for the Care of the Elderly in Rutherglen and the new splendid village centre at Lennox Castle hospital which constitutes a vast environmental improvement for our mentally handicapped residents. Three new, purpose-built wards for elderly mentally ill at Gartnavel Royal Hospital were opened which together with a similar development at Ruchill Hospital now offer high quality, comfortable and homely accommodation for a total of 180 residents
