Almost 4,000 people registered as donors in Harrow last year, contributing to the 1.2 million people nationally who put their name on the list. But statistics show that London, in general, is lagging behind the rest of the country, with just 29 per cent of people on the NHS Organ Donor Register (ODR). This compares to 36 per cent nationally and campaigners are encouraging people to talk openly about organ donation in a bid to smoothen the process of signing up. Will you use your role as Mayor to encourage people to support the campaign?

I welcome your proposals for a new cycle route to connect Willesden Junction with Wembley. Together with many cyclists in Brent and London I welcome your proposal for 6 new cycling routes. I would be interested to know how my residents and stakeholders like 'Brent Cyclists' (London Cycling Campaign) will be fully engaged in designing the route and their input throughout the process? What is the consultation/engagement plan for the proposed route in Brent?

Data from the Home Office shows that Met Police Officers in Brent used their batons 25 times from April to November last year, almost double the figure for any other police force. This is despite the fact Brent has lower levels of violent crime than 14 other boroughs. Use of weapons such as batons, Tasers, dogs and irritant sprays in Brent was also the third highest in the capital. Tasers were fired 16 times and police dogs have bitten people on two occasions. I am concerned about these figures. What are your thoughts on this?

The latest figures show that there has been a huge increase in the number of violent acid attacks in London by more than 78 per cent over the past two years. You have mentioned that you will carry out a 'zero-tolerance' approach to combat acid attacks. What actions have you taken so far?

I applaud your commitment to the prevention and improvement of mental health issues among young Londoners. As you kindly advised at the Budget Plenary on 25th January, the draft budget includes, under Communities & Intelligence, £350k funding for the Healthy Minds work stream. Of this, £100k will be destined to initiatives targeted specifically at young people at risk of mental health problems. Could you please provide more information on these initiatives? For example, their key deliverables and timescales?

It has been reported [1] that transgender people wait on average 50 weeks to attend the Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust Gender Identity Clinic. This is well above the national 18 weeks target and has detrimental consequences on the mental health of the awaiting patients. While I recognise your limited powers regarding health, under your obligation to tackle health inequalities will you commit to campaign on this very important issue?

As a response to question 2017/5215, you said that NHS colleagues had advised you that discussions were underway, and that you expected to know more details in the new year. Is there an update? The original question was: "Given the promised increase of NHS funding in the next three years (£350m immediately for winter pressures, £1.6bn for 2018-19 and £850m in 2018-19), how much of it will be allocated to London NHS services?"

Rough sleeping in London has doubled since 2010. I welcome the work the Mayor has done since being elected in 2016 to tackle this problem - but what are the causes, as far as your office can ascertain, for the rise in rough sleeping in the first place?
