  • 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?

  • Public subsidy

    • Reference: 2013/0020-1
    • Question by: Valerie Shawcross
    • Meeting date: 09 October 2013
    Do you plan to transform TfL so that it no longer requires a public subsidy?

  • Concern (Supplementary) [14]

    • Question by: Murad Qureshi
    • Meeting date: 20 June 2012
    OK. If it was too long-winded, simply, can we have an index of premature deaths from poor air quality against road fatalities in the annual Health, Safety and Environment reports that TfL issue, just as a broad indication of where we are going on this issue?

  • Concern (Supplementary) [19]

    • Question by: Joanne McCartney
    • Meeting date: 20 June 2012
    So, can I ask, one of the concerns, particularly in the recent McNulty Report, was around the ability to close category E ticket offices, which are the smaller ticket offices, but which offer vital assistance to commuters, particularly in my constituency, for example. In that franchise that is coming up in the autumn, the Great Northern, part of Thameslink franchise now, I have Grange Park and Bowes Park that are actually grade E. Are you having an influence in that and can I ask you today, can you ask for conditions for those ticket offices to remain open?

  • Concern (Supplementary) [26]

    • Question by: Jennette Arnold OBE
    • Meeting date: 20 June 2012
    Thank you; that is one down. Now, can I just say to you that the recent YouGov survey commissioned by End Violence Against Women Campaign showed that almost a third of respondents, women aged 18-24, have experienced unwanted sexual attention on London's public transport. So, is it not time for TfL to commit to a zero tolerance sexual harassment awareness campaign, similar to the one run in New York; I do not know if the Mayor saw the campaign ads while he was visiting there recently, but those ads are quite clear. They say, 'Sexual harassment is not acceptable, will...

  • Concern (Supplementary) [33]

    • Question by: Valerie Shawcross
    • Meeting date: 20 June 2012
    I think it is very encouraging to hear that actually TfL, you have shifted your position away from what really was a hand-washing of the issue. Can I agree with you, Peter, that these issues can be resolved quite quickly and I would have thought that, if necessary, if you get on the phone to the union and the employers, you could probably get everybody into Advisory, Conciliation and Arbitration Service (ACAS) tomorrow in order to stop the strike on Friday.

  • Concern (Supplementary) [34]

    • Question by: Jennette Arnold OBE
    • Meeting date: 20 June 2012
    Yes, thank you, Chair. My questions of concern are about sexual harassment on London transport and they are to the Commissioner. Peter, I am just looking for four yeses here, so I hope we can agree. Can I just start by saying, I know that you will agree with me, that sexual harassment on London's transport system has been a matter of concern. I say that because I have been working with your officers on this matter since 2009. Can you confirm that TfL remains committed to a zero tolerance approach and that TfL has a duty to ensure that...

  • Bow Roundabout - transparency (Supplementary) [3]

    • Question by: Jennette Arnold OBE
    • Meeting date: 20 June 2012
    Assembly Member Jones, no. Sorry, Mr Mayor. You gave a detailed answer to the first question, which was great. You have had now enough time on this, so I want to move on. I just want to find the Standing Order that gives us the gap for the Commissioner who seemed to want to make a statement to come in. There is no Standing Order except that apparently I can make a ruling, so can I just ask the Commissioner if he just wanted to make a statement? He was giving an indication that he wanted to make a statement...

  • Bow Roundabout - transparency (Supplementary) [4]

    • Question by: John Biggs
    • Meeting date: 20 June 2012
    Ok, I am grateful for that. I take it from your reply that the review will look at whether there are other lessons about the way we respond to anxieties without accident records. I share many of Jenny's [Jones] concerns, although I think we need to be cool and calm about this. If people are to blame, then they need to be held to account for that. But we need to see what happens as the inquiries are concluded. My final bit, though: I have cautiously welcomed the changes so far on the basis that they are temporary and they...
