  • London Recovery Board and London Transition Board (Supplementary) [4]

    • Question by: David Kurten
    • Meeting date: 02 July 2020
    David Kurten AM: Good morning, everybody. My first question would go to David Bellamy. I think you would be the person to answer this, but if you are not you can pass it on. My question is, what remuneration will the members of the London Transition Board and London Recovery Board be receiving for their service?
  • London Recovery Board and London Transition Board (Supplementary) [6]

    • Question by: Caroline Pidgeon
    • Meeting date: 02 July 2020
    Caroline Pidgeon MBE AM: My questions are to start off with to John O’Brien. I want to ask about support for businesses in London, with a particular focus on the restaurant industry. According to data from the Office for National Statistics, as of July last year there were nearly 16,000 restaurants in London employing around 325,000 people. Clearly, the sector has been hit very hard by COVID-19. Data showed in March, before the pandemic had fully hit, that 71% more food and accommodation businesses closed this March than they had in the previous March. John, I wonder if you could...
  • London Recovery Board and London Transition Board (Supplementary) [11]

    • 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?
  • Access to primary and community health care (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Joanne McCartney
    • Meeting date: 18 June 2014
    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...
  • Strategic Health Authority (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Murad Qureshi
    • Meeting date: 18 June 2014
    Murad Qureshi AM: I am just going to bring up issues around the A&E services in London. Is not the ongoing all-year crisis with A&E services in London good evidence that we need pan-London leadership to get the situation under control?
  • Catastrophic Incident Preparations (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Jennette Arnold OBE
    • Meeting date: 08 December 2004
    I wonder if you might just draw down a little bit and say is your planning based on a sector response. Listening to you, yes, you have all this equipment, but we are just used to seeing fire engines moving from A to B. How would you respond to a sector? Are you saying that you have enough equipment and resources within a given sector, and so that that would, in itself, support a catastrophic incident in that sector?
  • Catastrophic Incident Preparations (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Jennette Arnold OBE
    • Meeting date: 08 December 2004
    A lot of your learning came about after 9/11. Have you been around the table with your New York colleagues recently? I am just trying to get a sense of whether the equipment we have bought since 9/11 is really state-of-the-art. Is that something for the next two years, or should we be finding ways of working with people from Spain, New York, more so, because clearly, things move on in other worlds?
  • Catastrophic Incident Preparations (Supplementary) [3]

    • Question by: Jennette Arnold OBE
    • Meeting date: 08 December 2004
    Last night in my constituency there was a major meeting because of concerns of movement of ordinary engines. What can you say to Londoners today in terms of your readiness from your service and working in collaboration with colleagues. Are you ready?
  • Orisis Exercise (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Jennette Arnold OBE
    • Meeting date: 08 December 2004
    Surely you have learnt from that exercise and tested, and what did you use at that exercise, because you are saying ' in answer to question 363/2004 ' you are waiting for more equipment. What is happening now?
  • London Safety Plan - Assistance to London Fire Brigade (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Murad Qureshi
    • Meeting date: 08 December 2004
    Another area which could well be a target is the Tube system, and one of the things I have not really picked up is the extent of London Underground Limited's (LUL's) involvement in London Resilience. Could you just inform us, at least, of what kind of discussions you have had on that front?
