Unmesh Desai AM: Commissioner, you touched on aspects of safety such as electrical safety, but I want to ask you very specifically about safety visits to high-risk people and places, which have declined by some 6,000 since December 2015. Are you satisfied that the Brigade is doing all it can to help vulnerable people, such as residents in care homes, to stay safe?
Joanne McCartney AM: My question is initially for the Deputy Mayor, but, please, Commissioner add to that. It is about the London Resilience Forum. It exists to co-ordinate different organisations across London, but we know that austerity and Government cuts have really impacted on those organisations. What has the impact of austerity been on your partners’ ability to deliver what may be needed in the event of a major incident?
