The entire world seems to have responded to COVID-19 pandemic in a knee-jerk manner with a short mindset without building on the existing strengths of public health infrastructure. National governments cannot be blamed for this as we are dealing with a crisis that comes once in a lifetime. Realising this, the Organized Medicine Academic Guild (OMAG) an association of major health associations in this country has suggested measures for long-term solutions to COVID-19-like pandemics in the form of a policy paper by OMAG.

In 2007, the Bureau of Justice Statistics reported on 2004 data collected from the Census of Medical Examiner and Coroner Offices (CMEC). The CMEC was one of the first comprehensive reports on the state of the medicolegal death investigation system in the United States and included information on administration, expenditure, workload, specialized death investigations, records and evidence retention, and resources. However, the report did not include responses on questions that were related to toxicology such as specimen retention and type of testing. The purpose of this publication is to provide the community with toxicology laboratory‐specific responses from nearly 2000 medical examiner and coroner (MEC) offices. Data obtained from a BJS CMEC public use dataset for any remaining information that was not reported in the 2007 BJS report were evaluated specific to the operation of toxicology laboratories within a MEC office or specific to toxicology testing. The CMEC includes information on average operating budget for MEC offices with internal or external toxicology services, budget for toxicology/microbiology services, respondents’ routine uses of toxicology analysis, toxicology specimen retention time, average turnaround times, use of computerized information management systems, and participation in federal data collections. These historical data begin to address the present state of our nation’s toxicology laboratories within the medicolegal death investigation system and their preparedness for the current drug overdose epidemic.

En el desarrollo del presente documento se realiza un trabajo analítico argumentativo ya que se tomará información de la política pública cero papel su importancia en las entidades territoriales del país y el análisis que se presenta sobre su implementación, o por el contrario es una ilusión que no podrá llevarse a la realidad mientras los gobiernos territoriales no se tomen medidas de fomento, seguimiento y control frente al consumo ineficiente de papel y poco fomento de cultura sobre su uso en la administración pública, sumados las anteriores a la no contribución del principio de austeridad y el aumento de gastos de funcionamiento en los presupuestos de las entidades, la falta de estímulo y no aprovechamiento de las herramientas tecnológicas con lo que se cuenta en la actualidad la administración pública que buscan contribuir a la gestión de tiempos y eficiencia administrativa por ello surge el interrogante: ¿LA POLÍTICA CERO PAPELES ILUSIÓN O REALIDAD EN LAS ENTIDADES TERRITORIALES? In the development of this document, an argumentative analytical work is carried out since zero-role public policy information will be taken on its importance in the territorial entities of the country and the analysis presented on its implementation, or on the contrary it is an illusion that does not may be brought to reality as long as territorial governments do not take measures to promote, monitor and control the inefficient consumption of paper and little promotion of culture over its use in public administration, together with the previous ones to the non-contribution of the austerity principle and the increase of operating expenses in the budgets of the entities, the lack of stimulus and non-use of the technological tools that currently have public administration that seek to contribute to the management of time and administrative efficiency therefore arises Question: DOES THE ZERO POLICY PAPERS ILLUSION OR REALITY IN THE TERRITORIAL ENTITIES?

The objective of this World Bank technical assistance has been to support the Government of Bangladesh’s (GoB) national capacity development framework for improving water and sanitation services (WSS) in Bangladesh, focusing on demand-responsive peer-to-peer or horizontal learning processes and improve horizontal accountability communication and monitoring systems to track progress in the sector. This technical assistance is in line with the World Bank country assistance strategy (CAS) which seeks to support the GoB target of ensuring safe drinking water and sanitation for all. It has contributed to strengthening the long-term capacity of the government, in particular the union Parishad (UP) which is responsible for ensuring water and sanitation services for all in Bangladesh.

Objective To identify variations in current antenatal screening programmes across one region and compare results with a previous survey. Design A cross section descriptive survey. Setting All maternity units within the region of Northern Ireland. Sample Eleven maternity units were invited and ten agreed to participate. Main outcome measures The number of written policies for individual screening tests; the range of screening tests offered; the frequency of training opportunities for health professionals; and the information systems in place to record data. Results There is variation in service provision across maternity units and, in particular, inconsistency in the offer of serum screening tests for Down syndrome. A lack of training opportunities for health professionals involved in offering screening was highlighted, and no common information system employed. Conclusion While improvements have been made since 2002, variations persist. This is leading to inequalities in the provision of antenatal screening services across Northern Ireland.
