A reader commented: If I understand it correctly, the meeting on the 11th Jan. will endorse the 'go ahead of the report dated 21/10/16'. Then the other 7 councils also have to agree with Brent and then be submitted to the NHS followed by the government to give the final approval. So far there is nothing published from The Treasury approving the £140M that the CCG's need for 'capital costs' for making the changes required to implement the ST Plan at Willesden & across the other 8 sites. But to confuse me they have now said they intend to build a 'new' HUB in North Harrow (BELMONT).

A further comment: Damian Green(DWP) speaking on today's Daily Politics show (BBC 2) said no STP's are going ahead as they are only at a consultation stage. He said when their local populations have had a chance to debate and consult on them, only then will they go back to their CCG's to make a final decision on them

This seems to contradict today's story in WM and I wonder why Brent Labour are in such a hurry to get this passed, as it seems the gov are not in such a hurry.

Will Ms May regret her words over the NHS in which she replied "there are only a small number of local incidents".

Hirani is the least impressive politician I have encountered at any level. A weak communicator with no ideas or presence, he'd struggle to get onto most primary school councils.

But Cllr Butt is happy in his company.
