The Patients' Forum for the LAS was recently established as the new statutory voice for patients and the public in the LAS. The Forum's effectiveness and development is currently hampered by a lack of resources and facilities, which fails to recognise the difficult task faced by its voluntary unpaid members in carrying out a London-wide remit. I have been asked to request whether you would be willing to assist the Forum by: ·inviting the Forum to publicise its work through GLA publications and website; ·providing facilities for public meetings of the Forum; ·providing basic office facilities and an official address...

Earlier you mentioned wanting a level of BTP on overland stations that we have the right to expect. I am very impressed with the work being done by Tim O'Toole (Managing Director, London Underground Limited) and London Underground in getting more BTP to respond to the needs of the Underground.
