Health Bosses discuss inequality
Perth and Kinross Health Bosses heard yesterday about work taking place to address inequalities across the region. Members of the Perth and Kinross Community Health Partnership were given the update that showed a correlation between deprivation and poor health. They discussed NHS Tayside's Communities in Control strategy, and how it can be localised to Perthshire.

Volcanic Ash causes school and court disrpution
As pupils returned to schools today across Perth and Kinross it's hoped the education won't be disrupted as teachers still find themselves stranded abroad. With over 80 teaching staff out of school over the in service days, Perth and Kinross Council has implemented contingency plans. Perth Sheriff Court has also faced problems in the last week as two Sheriffs have been absent from the bench. Visiting Sheriffs have been called into town to help cover but it's expected that there will be delays as replacements will need to familiarise themselves with complicated cases.
