    • Question by: Onkar Sahota
    • Meeting date: 07 September 2023
    Dr Onkar Sahota AM (Deputy Chair in the Chair): Thank you. I am now going to ask a question in my own right. It is to Hannah. Failure to access to healthcare is not only detrimental for the individual but it also has public health challenges for Londoners. We have heard access to healthcare come up a number of times in the proceedings this morning. Has the GLA been doing any work on helping refugees and asylum seekers access the NHS system? If yes, what has that work been?

    • Question by: Onkar Sahota
    • Meeting date: 10 February 2022
    Commissioner, this question is to you. It is about the collaboration of the LFB with the other blue-light services and I want to congratulate you particularly on how you supported the London Ambulance Service (LAS) in the pandemic. With the LFB stepping up to meet the LAS, responding to the extreme weather events and dealing with the building safety crisis, despite the fact of having lost 1,100 officers since 2010, how has this impacted on the day-to-day operations of the LFB?

    Dr Onkar Sahota AM: Good morning, Mayor. The Assembly, the Commissioner and you are all agreed and we are all agreed that we need 6,000 more police officers in London. Have you had any indication from the Government when we will get the 6,000 police officers, and why are those 6,000 officers important for London?
  • Question and Answer Session: COVID-19 Recovery - The Next Steps for London (Supplementary) [13]

    • Question by: Onkar Sahota
    • Meeting date: 04 March 2021
    Dr Onkar Sahota AM: My question is for the Deputy Mayor, Jules Pipe. You talked earlier on about vaccine hesitancy and, of course, the vaccine is a way out of this pandemic, but it does depend upon many people taking it up. Unless many people take it up, unless we are all safe, none of us are safe. What work has the Recovery Board done to attack or to address vaccine hesitancy in London?
  • COVID-19 Vaccination Delivery in London (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Onkar Sahota
    • Meeting date: 04 February 2021
    Dr Onkar Sahota AM: I also am a GP and want to echo the comments about the tremendous efforts made by the NHS staff in delivering the vaccination programme, but there are challenges in London. If you look at the number of over-80s vaccinated, London had the lowest rate of vaccinations. If you look at the patchwork we have in London, I hear that some parts of London are more advanced than the others and I hear that some parts of London have been asked to slow down to let other parts catch up. There are some challenges. It is...

    • Question by: Onkar Sahota
    • Meeting date: 04 February 2021
    Dr Onkar Sahota AM: Minister, thank you for coming and joining us this morning. The success of any vaccination programme relies on the willingness of people to actually have the vaccine. When trust was lost on the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine we knew that the uptake plummeted, and, as you know, we need to get over 80% of the population vaccinated to get herd immunity. You also know that trust is a social contract between two parties, in this case the Government and the people. While the people trust the scientists and the doctors, the Government has often...
