    • Question by: James Cleverly
    • Meeting date: 17 October 2010
    How can the Mayor help address the problem of some fast food outlets not being classed as A5 for planning, thereby circumventing the attempts by local authorities to reduce childhood obesity by creating exclusion zones around schools, leisure centres and playing fields?

    • Question by: James Cleverly
    • Meeting date: 17 October 2010
    In your answer to question 3022/2010 you advised that the authorities are looking at a universal vaccination system for TB. Given that the number of cases in the UK has topped 9,000 for the first time, with 3,000 cases in London alone, when will the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation make a decision and are you committed to a return to universal vaccinations?

    • Reference: 2010/3406
    • Question by: James Cleverly
    • Meeting date: 13 October 2010
    Although we welcome the introduction of the 'new pan-London Crime Reduction Board', I'm concerned about the under-representation of the outer London boroughs in the current board composition. While the London Councils have acknowledged the need for different political representations, should the Mayor make a stronger case to encourage geographical diversity on the board?

  • Tuberculosis

    • Reference: 2010/3022
    • Question by: James Cleverly
    • Meeting date: 15 September 2010
    With 3,000 new cases of TB in London each year, 40% of the overall UK infection rate and 18 of the 31 London PCT's having a TB rate higher than 40 per 100,000 people, is it now time to recognise that TB poses a threat to all of London's children and will the Mayor work with me to encourage the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation to extend the BCG to all children?

    • Question by: James Cleverly
    • Meeting date: 15 September 2010

    • Question by: James Cleverly
    • Meeting date: 15 September 2010
    With NHS London being reduced to three non-executive board members to oversee its operation, should the SHA be dissolved and its function shared out amongst the GLA and boroughs?

    • Reference: 2010/3025
    • Question by: James Cleverly
    • Meeting date: 15 September 2010
    With the 111 number replacing NHS Direct and 5 local authorities currently trialling its use, will London have 111 just for medical care or can the project to make it a generic non-emergency number for the Police as well be restored?
