Do you support proposals for 200 per cent hike in hospital parking fees recently reported in the Mail on Sunday? It is not clear when the plan will be implemented but is there any way NHS staff in London can be protected from the hike?

In August 2017 referring to the future of the LLDC I asked you if you were sympathetic to the view that the LLDC’s planning powers could be handed back ahead of the planned period of 2030 to the boroughs to complement and further progress the great social and economic convergence agenda? I note that no progress has been made on this. Now I notice that the relevant East London borough leaders have called for return of powers from the Olympic Legacy corporation which I support. Is it not the time that this happens without any further delay?

Thank you for your response to my question about, in my view, the discriminatory ban on use of 60+ Freedom Pass during morning peak hours. After months of this imposition by DfT there is no sign of the removal of this restriction. What steps are you taking to demand that the Government removes this condition forthwith? If the ban is not lifted when you are negotiating the next TfL funding can you give me assurance that you would lobby the DfT to lift this condition?

In an ICU, the critical care nurse to patient ratio should be 1:1. During the first wave, at its peak, the ratio reached 1:6. The focus and concern should not be about the number of ICU beds available, but instead about the number of trained critical care staff to care for those in ICU. Are you concerned about the pressures on London’s nurses and other NHS staff?
