): I am sure Members will have detailed questions on that wider experience and the work you are doing to keep the capital moving and so forth. All that good work though will be lost if the message does not get out that the wider Games experience has been a success. So I just wanted to start by concentrating on the narrow but important point of the non-accredited media and your arrangements around that, and I am sure the Members will widen it from there. As I understand it, there is about 20,000 or so expected on the accredited side...

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?

Actually I want to come in on exactly this point but before I do, can I say, since there has been some hostile questioning, if I can put it that way, from other parts of the Chamber, that in relation to the additional powers to the Mayor we, from our side, have supported this. We are very pleased to see renewed or additional vigour on this subject. It is the number one issue of concern to Londoners in the polls, certainly the ones I have seen. On this question of the Capital Moves, can you just be clear. You have...

OK. So the two things they are asking for are, firstly that there should be specific reference, so that point we are clear on. The second thing they are saying is that the Mayor should remove the target for 25% re-lets by 2012 from his draft Housing Strategy. As I understand it, their concern is that if they do not, as it were, get enough for their people they will not have the incentive to bring forward schemes and so forth. I have to say I am in two minds about that because I am politically old enough to remember...

Would you, Neale, be willing to host a seminar to bring together those across the public services who work those who suffer from mental health problems to share best practice? .

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...
