Joanne McCartney AM: I was just going to pick up on something you said earlier, that when we are changing any aspect of the health system it is essential that we build the trust and confidence of the public and patients. We have all been out supporting our local hospitals that are at risk of closure, and it is very emotive when you talk about changing healthcare provision. I know from my experience of ChaseFarm, for example, that one of the requirements of the Independent Reconfiguration Panel was that primary care and access to primary and community care had to...

Yes, Peter, and that is the sort of response I have been getting for the last couple of years, and luckily I can say to you that the Borough of Lambeth have recently run a most successful campaign using ads; it is the campaign 'Know the Difference'.

It has been taken onboard by other people and the only organisation that did not commit to it locally in Lambeth was TfL. These campaigns were...

Joanne McCartney (Chair): Can we then move to our substantive item this morning, which is the question and answer session with the Mayor and Commissioner for the Metropolitan Police Service, and can I welcome you both here this morning. Obviously since we last met one of the major issues that has arisen has been allegations of racism within the Metropolitan Police Service, and perhaps I can start with you, Mr Mayor. Today you issued a press release saying that you were launching a review of measures introduced to eradicate racism within the Metropolitan Police Service. Four years ago you launched...

Jenny Jones (Deputy Chair): Good morning, Mr Mayor. The issue of the number of officers has always been a bit contentious but at the last Mayor's Question Time (MQT) you did reiterate your manifesto commitment to 1,000 extra officers, and in response to Len Duvall you did say, '1,000 extra officers on the beat.' Where are you going to find those officers?
