Why is there a gap in the "rolling replacement " programme between May 2004 and August 2006 when no new vehicles will be supplied? What assurances can you give that LFEPA will be able to negotiate and accelerate the appliance replacement programme to shorten this 14 month gap with Asset Co? .

Bearing in mind the very limited funds available in this year's LFEPA budget for Capital Projects, will you ensure that no decision is taken to begin any further construction work at the Southwark Training centre site and that a full business case including the in-depth analysis of alternative locations is undertaken before the enlarged Breathing Apparatus charging facility is sited at Southwark? .

Obviously this is quite difficult to discuss here, if you haven't got the information in front of you, but my understanding is that there was a serious delay, and, therefore, a confusion around the co-ordination. You have stated you think it is excellent. I would say that given that is my understanding, it was not excellent on that occasion. And I want your assurance that firstly I will get the answers, and secondly that I will be informed of what exactly did happen, and thirdly, that if it is as I say it is, that something will be done about...

It's a great shame in my view. Dom you know what further health awareness campaigns the Mayor may have planned, following the "Saving Londoners" Lives' campaign that he did? That is one of the things he could consider.

I'm on the scrutiny too, so I suppose I was saying what extra can one do, except talk and recommend? Is that the limit of it?

I was just wondering what exactly can be done by the Mayor to address inequalities in primary health care provision across London. I am talking about things like healthy living centres and out of hours health centres. Should they not be available to all of Londoners, not just a few?

Much to be done. On the housing issue - assuming the extra 50,000 nurses aren't all going to want their own homes, which would take up the Mayor's entire plan for affordable housing, what are you doing? Are you actually measuring the success regarding how many key workers from health go into the new housing that's theoretically coming on stream? How are you going to judge whether it's a success?

I think that is important and whether it will come to the Health Committee to be looked at when the report is published, because otherwise you don't know if the money is being well spent. Can I move on to the skills issue and the issue around refugees who come to the country, amongst whom there is reckoned to be at least 1,000 potential doctors? I wondered if the Mayor had taken any steps to support requalification? There have been various schemes going. There's a scheme at the Institute of Community Health Services and a couple of other ones. Has...
