It is very good to see a clear commitment in the Housing Strategy, not just to deal with these issues of supply/quantity, but also address issues of quality. Perhaps one issue that Dee has left out of that long list of points about diverse supply etc, is the question of lifetime homes. Now, there was very clear statement in the London Plan, and it is here again in the Housing Strategy, that we would like basically to see all new homes meet a lifetime home standard and we would like to see a significant number - 10%, I think -...

Do you think the Mayor would be interested in seeing the housing association sector restructured somewhat in London, to avoid some of the problems of lack of economies of scale and fragmentation that we see at the moment that undermine the quality of housing and estate management?

As you are aware, in urban deprived communities one of the aspects of ill health that is much increased is mental illness. In Lambeth, we've got six times the national average for mental illness. We've got the highest rate of mental illness in the entire world. And the South London Maudsley NHS Trust has been doing some very innovative work on early intervention, trying to get to people in the system, particularly young men, before their problems become too serious. Can you say something about what the GLA is doing in the field of mental health, since it does have...

So, therefore, the Labour Assembly Member's attempt to expose Tory resistance to achieving the affordable homes target, set out in the draft London Plan, as in the Labour Group press release in advance of this meeting, is inaccurate, would one say?

You say there's actually a decent relationship out there with Tory boroughs, Labour boroughs, Liberal and hung boroughs, in terms of attempting to meet the London Plan targets?
