    That really is very unfortunate to hear. We know the western extension is really one of your daftest ideas. Nobody wants it. It looks neat on a map I can tell you that, but it is a waste of time. You are going to cause so much congestion in other parts of South London. People now in Battersea will be driving west in order to get over Wandsworth Bridge or Putney Bridge in order to avoid this area, and you are going to cause mayhem. I think this is one of the worst things you have done, and I am...

    Can I put that to the rest of the panel? Do you think that it would be useful if all GLA strategies were subject to a poverty impact assessment, and that we take a more across-the-board approach?

    Thank you very much. I am going to ask this question about hidden cost and also a capacity issue for the whole of London, not just east London. I wonder whether, in fact, you have been in discussion with London NHS as to capacity, and how it could bear an influx of a huge number of people. There will be people who will be ill; there will be people who will have accidents. Now, London's hospitals carry a very, very high bed occupancy, with hardly any spare room. Are you discussing this problem with London NHS?
