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...

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?

Thank you, Sir Ken. I think we would all like to congratulate those success stories that you have just highlighted. Obviously the picture we are getting is that it is a patchy performance across London. Would you agree with that?

Thank you very much, Commissioner. I am very delighted to hear that, although I was rather sorry that there was a delay because I can remember at least two years ago when we were in here for a scrutiny session, and you came with your Union Representative and he agreed that there really was no hold up with the Union as to getting this sorted out in London as long as they were not to be sent there instead of an ambulance, to which we, of course, agreed. You have been given £100,000, but none of this has been drawn...

Commissioner, the Metropolitan Police has received some initial funding to help them prepare for the Olympic Games and their resilience thereto. Has the London Fire Brigade received any preparatory monies to help them forward, and to what extent are you involved in the planning for that event when some ten million visitors are expected to go to the Games in a period of about three weeks?

The Olympics are vulnerable from both the river and the canals. Are you involved in protection of the Olympic sites from the river and the canals and do you have the equipment?

So the Chair (of LFEPA) was not right to say that it was to do with cost of refurbishing?

I was never saying the outer Boroughs should continue to have less. What I argued for was that London as a whole should have more which would mean that everybody could enjoy more, rather than some having to then lose some in order for others to gain some. It just seemed to me we were trying to cut the cake smaller. My final point would be, are you aware, Sir Ken, that the residents in the area are continuing to put together new rescue plans, and that right now they say they are talking to the Metropolitan Police about sharing...

So you are not really interested in talking to them about their proposal?
