I have two issues in mind. The first is with street signage on public transport. As a tourist at Athens and at Beijing, I found that very useful in my experience of those cities. I am just wondering whether any thought has been put into that in the London context over and above what the ambassadors will be doing on the street level.

Just coming back to the issue of the figures for housing, I think it would have been useful to have had someone from the Housing Corporation explain those figures because I have had difficulties getting some idea of what their methodology is on that front and it will undoubtedly become an annual political football. Coming to what I wanted to raise with Neale: the unimplemented planning permissions. Where do you think the explanation lies for that? Is it the five year limit on planning permissions? Is there not the building capacity to build them out? It would be useful, given...

Neale, you missed out housing cooperatives. They are based on mutuality. They are an obvious model for intermediate housing, particular for young people.

Just one more point: the Tenant Management Organisation (TMOs). The Mayor will have responsibility for the Decent Homes programmes now, I understand. Presumably he will be keener on TMOs than going through local authorities, because of their involvement in the management. As Val said, the issue of quality of service is as important as the quantity of housing available.

Just going back to this question of different kinds of housing, what place will housing co-operatives, tenant management organisations and Black and Minority Ethnic Registered Social Landlords have in the Mayor's overall strategy?

It's a great shame in my view. Dom you know what further health awareness campaigns the Mayor may have planned, following the "Saving Londoners" Lives' campaign that he did? That is one of the things he could consider.

I'm on the scrutiny too, so I suppose I was saying what extra can one do, except talk and recommend? Is that the limit of it?

I was just wondering what exactly can be done by the Mayor to address inequalities in primary health care provision across London. I am talking about things like healthy living centres and out of hours health centres. Should they not be available to all of Londoners, not just a few?

Much to be done. On the housing issue - assuming the extra 50,000 nurses aren't all going to want their own homes, which would take up the Mayor's entire plan for affordable housing, what are you doing? Are you actually measuring the success regarding how many key workers from health go into the new housing that's theoretically coming on stream? How are you going to judge whether it's a success?
