Dr Onkar Sahota AM: Good morning, Mr Mayor. Good morning, Commissioner. My question is to you, Commissioner. First of all, I want to congratulate all the stations that have been opened up for Crossrail. They are beautiful and they are improving step-free access, particularly the one in Southall, where we have the Punjabi language signage, which reflects the cultural value of Southall. I want to congratulate TfL for doing that. I also want to ask - this caused a lot of excitement - when we will see Crossrail fully functioning. Can you give us an update on Crossrail, please?

Victoria Borwick AM MP: Thank you. Mr Mayor, just to take us back briefly to that other point, I am sure you were as delighted as I was that this Government undertook to honour Simon Stevens’ [Chief Executive Officer, NHS England] request for £8 billion in funding and to ring-fence the NHS funding. Just to put any clarification on the previous comments that were made, we have had an assurance that the NHS funding would continue and that Simon Stevens’ request will be met in full.
