Andrew Boff AM: Professor Fenton, on I think 3 March [2020], the Mayor of London said that there is no risk of people catching coronavirus while travelling on buses or trains in the capital. Did you give him that advice?

David Kurten AM: Thank you, Chair. I would like to ask Dr Fenton. We heard from the Chair and you earlier about admissions to hospitals with COVID being the highest since the start of the declared pandemic in March 2020. How do total hospital admissions now, this January, compare to last January and other winter seasons before this year?

Caroline Russell AM: Thank you, Chair, and thank you, Martin, for that really clear description of what is happening in our hospitals and to the people working in those hospitals. I want to talk about the vaccination of frontline workers. I do realise that vaccination rollout is in early stages and that we will not know for a few months whether vaccination has any effect on reducing transmission, but yesterday the Government released guidance that said phase two of vaccination may include targeted vaccination of those at high risk of exposure and/or those delivering key public services. This week we...

Navin Shah AM: Thank you very much. My question is to Professor Fenton. We saw in the first wave that BAME Londoners were disproportionately affected by COVID-19. In fact, the figures were very damning and not acceptable in any situation. What lessons have we learned since the first wave and what has been implemented as a result to improve the situation, which needs to be done speedily and dramatically?

Good morning. I also have a few questions on the Healthy Streets agenda. The Mayor’s draft Transport Strategy says: “It is essential that a new street network is developed using the Healthy Streets approach to make walking and cycling the first choice across the area.” It also says: “High quality and reliable bus links to and through the area from existing residential communities will also be required to ensure that everyone benefits from the proposals at Old Oak.” How do you balance the competing demands for road space from both these priorities?

• Meeting date: 07 September 2017

Dr Onkar Sahota AM: I expected my colleague to go first but, anyway, can you provide me an update into the work being done to refine the results of the Development Infrastructure Fund (DIF), which you referred to in your meeting in March of this year? Can you update us on what work has been done on that?

Fiona Twycross AM: Thank you. I was pleased to hear about the work you have commissioned on intensification because of the point that my colleague Nicky Gavron [AM] made about employment in industrial land.

Tony Devenish AM: Good morning. This is of course the biggest regeneration project in Western Europe. To quote somebody you know in the property industry, you are trying to build a spacecraft with a budget that my residents, some of them, spend on their children’s wedding. That was one that I heard recently. You are trying to do three things, Liz. I am trying to step back. (1) You are trying to build tens of thousands of homes and mixed developments within the six years that perhaps the man you report to is particularly focused on, so the industry and...
