It is very good to see a clear commitment in the Housing Strategy, not just to deal with these issues of supply/quantity, but also address issues of quality. Perhaps one issue that Dee has left out of that long list of points about diverse supply etc, is the question of lifetime homes. Now, there was very clear statement in the London Plan, and it is here again in the Housing Strategy, that we would like basically to see all new homes meet a lifetime home standard and we would like to see a significant number - 10%, I think -...

Do you think the Mayor would be interested in seeing the housing association sector restructured somewhat in London, to avoid some of the problems of lack of economies of scale and fragmentation that we see at the moment that undermine the quality of housing and estate management?

It's a great shame in my view. Dom you know what further health awareness campaigns the Mayor may have planned, following the "Saving Londoners" Lives' campaign that he did? That is one of the things he could consider.

I'm on the scrutiny too, so I suppose I was saying what extra can one do, except talk and recommend? Is that the limit of it?

As you are aware, in urban deprived communities one of the aspects of ill health that is much increased is mental illness. In Lambeth, we've got six times the national average for mental illness. We've got the highest rate of mental illness in the entire world. And the South London Maudsley NHS Trust has been doing some very innovative work on early intervention, trying to get to people in the system, particularly young men, before their problems become too serious. Can you say something about what the GLA is doing in the field of mental health, since it does have...

Much to be done. On the housing issue - assuming the extra 50,000 nurses aren't all going to want their own homes, which would take up the Mayor's entire plan for affordable housing, what are you doing? Are you actually measuring the success regarding how many key workers from health go into the new housing that's theoretically coming on stream? How are you going to judge whether it's a success?
