  • 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...

  • Impact of Housing Related Welfare Reforms

    • Reference: 2013/0005-1
    • Question by: Stephen Knight
    • Meeting date: 13 March 2013
    What do you perceive will be the impact on London of housing related welfare reforms - including linking the uprating of Local Housing Allowance to the Consumer Price Index rather than rent inflation and introducing under-occupation penalties - given London's existing shortages of affordable rented accommodation and overcrowding problems?
  • Impact of Welfare Reform in London

    • Reference: 2013/0006-1
    • Question by: Fiona Twycross
    • Meeting date: 13 March 2013
    London is about to experience the largest change to the welfare system since the 1940's, due to take effect on 1 April. These changes include the overall benefit cap, uprating Local Housing Allowance by CPI, bedroom tax (under-occupancy penalties), localisation of the discretionary social fund, localisation of council tax benefit, and replacement of Disability Allowance with the Personal Independence Payment. Can you provide a very general picture of the impact these changes will have on the people of London?
  • Monitoring of Impact of Welfare Reforms

    • Reference: 2013/0007-1
    • Question by: Darren Johnson
    • Meeting date: 13 March 2013
    There have already been many significant and cross-cutting changes to the welfare system, and there are even bigger changes planned for the coming year. Is there adequate monitoring and publicly available information about the cumulative impacts on Londoners, councils and support agencies?
  • Bedroom Tax

    • Reference: 2013/0008-1
    • Question by: Len Duvall OBE
    • Meeting date: 13 March 2013
    The 'bedroom tax' will result in an immediate cut in Housing Benefit of 14% for those deemed to have one extra bedroom and 25% for two or more extra bedrooms. However, the extent to which such penalties will make a difference is questionable, as there is a significant mismatch between under-occupying and over-occupying households - with 80,000 households in London under-occupancy, against 260,000 over-crowded households. Will the bedroom tax help address overcrowding in London in any substantive way, and what impact do you believe it will have on established communities and social cohesion in the capital?
