  • Access to primary and community health care

    • Reference: 2014/2282
    • Question by: Steve O'Connell
    • Meeting date: 18 June 2014
    How can access be improved to primary and community health care, and how will this benefit patients and health care in London?

  • Impact of air pollution on Londoner’s health (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Steve O'Connell
    • Meeting date: 18 June 2014
    Steve O’Connell AM: It certainly is, as I have said in this Chamber from time to time, that the Mayor gets beaten up around his policy on air quality but it is reassuring to hear that your comments are that we have the right leadership and the right set of proposals, although we do indeed need to accelerate that improvement across London. I pick up your point, which I welcome, that it would be good to perhaps compare and contrast London boroughs and their performance because we very much need to drill down on how boroughs can perform and, in...

  • Promoting unhealthy lifestyles (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Steve O'Connell
    • Meeting date: 18 June 2014
    Steve O’Connell AM: If I could ask a question on a slightly more positive note, the other side of the coin, getting away from nutrition and American multinational companies, is about activity and exercise. Professor the Lord Darzi (Chair, London Health Commission): Absolutely. Steve O’Connell AM: That is something I would like you to comment on because there has been for far too long a generational shift in schools perhaps away from good activities, particularly in schools in areas of deprivation, it often is the case. Will you be commenting and observing on that in your recommendations?

  • Potential for Further Budget Increases (Supplementary) [3]

    • Question by: Bob Neill
    • Meeting date: 25 April 2007
    Does that include taking advice from the people on Lord James of Blackheath's team who had to bail out some of the consequences of the Dome? The police were involved in that.

  • Potential for Further Budget Increases (Supplementary) [5]

    • Question by: Bob Neill
    • Meeting date: 25 April 2007
    The trouble that I have is that the more one departs from basic commercial practice, when we fall into public sector practice, the greater the risk, history tells us, of budget overruns.

  • Potential for Further Budget Increases (Supplementary) [7]

    • Question by: Bob Neill
    • Meeting date: 25 April 2007
    Can I come, Sir Roy, back to a point that Mr Higgins made in relation to our earlier discussions? I am concerned about the extent to which bottom up budgeting is really being regarded as being acceptable at all. Would you not accept that one of the lessons I think that we have learned from projects like the Dome and other public sector projects is that, by and large, you should start from the revenue generation figure, and be very reluctant about bottom up budgeting, because that is where you get `creep'? If you have the revenue regeneration figure as...

  • Potential for Further Budget Increases (Supplementary) [8]

    • Question by: Richard Barnes
    • Meeting date: 25 April 2007
    How great is the budget for this security process, during the build phase of the building site?

  • Potential for Further Budget Increases (Supplementary) [9]

    • Question by: Bob Neill
    • Meeting date: 25 April 2007
    ): I am grateful for that. When we looked at past history, things like Wembley and the Dome, one thing which tended to cause further increases in budgets was, regrettably, elements of fraud, sometimes sub-contractor fraud, and a lack of control over sub-contractor costs. What lessons have we learnt? What systems are being put in place to bear down upon that in a way which did not happen, perhaps, in some of those other projects?

  • Potential for Further Budget Increases (Supplementary) [10]

    • Question by: Richard Barnes
    • Meeting date: 25 April 2007
    So, at this moment, the total budgeting costs for security are approximately £1.4 billion then, if one conflates the two figures?

  • Potential for Further Budget Increases (Supplementary) [11]

    • Question by: Richard Barnes
    • Meeting date: 25 April 2007
    Yes, but on top of that is the £600 million for the Metropolitan Police?
