How can access be improved to primary and community health care, and how will this benefit patients and health care in London?

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...

I am very reassured by that, Mr Bishop. If the bid is successful in April or May, whenever the Government is going to take the decision now, there will be a procurement process.

I am grateful for that Mr Bishop, but I think London is well-served by you and the other senior officers, who are directing these matters, those who are not on strike. As a professional officer, you would prefer the equipment that is subject to this £15 million bid sooner rather than later?
