  • London Recovery Board and London Transition Board (Supplementary) [10]

    • Question by: Onkar Sahota
    • Meeting date: 02 July 2020
    Dr Onkar Sahota AM: My question is to Mr John Barradell, please. Testing is paramount in preventing the spread of the virus and also then tracing. How far advanced are we in London on testing? Will the testing be taking place for everyone in London for antigens and antibodies?

    • Question by: Leonie Cooper
    • Meeting date: 02 July 2020
    Léonie Cooper AM: My first question is to David Bellamy and it is about the balance between lives and livelihoods. Many politicians and commentators have portrayed the journey out of lockdown as a trade-off between the economy and health and between lives and livelihoods. Do you agree that this is a false distinction and that there cannot really be a full economic recovery without the public being confident that going about daily life is safe?

    • Question by: Jennette Arnold OBE
    • Meeting date: 02 July 2020
    Jennette Arnold OBE AM: Good morning, all. Thank you, Chair. Can I add my thanks and gratitude to Mr Barradell, Deputy Mayor Twycross and all members of the team for the work they are doing. I share my colleague Assembly Member Duvall’s confidence in you, John. If we needed somebody in your seat, it is good that we have you. Seriously, what can we say. We can all agree that COVID has shattered any illusions that we live in a fair city. The focus of my questions today are about protecting vulnerable Londoners, especially the impact of COVID-19 upon young...

    • Question by: Lynne Featherstone
    • Meeting date: 08 December 2004
    Just going back to one of my bugbears since the ricin in Wood Green, when the local chair of the Health Trust, the local chief executive, and I think the local head of the Fire Service were not aware of the ricin incident until two days afterwards. Are you satisfied that in terms of a health issue, the communications are now infallible?

    • Question by: Peter Hulme Cross
    • Meeting date: 08 December 2004
    Just a very quick question. You mentioned a gas attack down, sir, the Tube network, like with Sarin. Do you have the necessary equipment to go down and administer help underground, and the necessary breathing apparatus to last long enough to be effective? For instance, if they do not last half an hour, you will only have about 15 minutes or so down there.

  • Multi Agency Initial Assessment Team (Supplementary) [3]

    • Question by: Nicky Gavron
    • Meeting date: 08 December 2004
    I am trying to get my head round this, and I have written down 'complementary specialisms, information flow, early advice, and then the crunch, which is marshalling resources to the scene.' Can you just tell me, what difference will it make, if you actually have this? What difference will it make, if there is a catastrophic event?

    • Question by: Jennette Arnold OBE
    • Meeting date: 08 December 2004
    I just want to follow up the work about working together in this MAIAT. I am confident when you are all in a room, yes, you are all working together, but it has been reported to me that none of your communication systems actually connect with each other. Therefore, what happens at the operational level, if you are all running on different communications systems? Is that high up on the agenda? I am thinking about the command, really. I am not talking about people putting out fires. I am talking about the connection between the fire service, the police, the...

    In the event of one or more major terrorist incidents, what is the capacity of the health and ambulance service in London to cope with mass casualties? How many hospital beds can be made available in a short space of time?
