depressing messages from the Health Improvement Partnership, and worse at Elm Tree Community Centre.  However thinking deeply, lots of this has happened from what was set in train from the last Government and cannot all be blamed on this.
On a lighter note I find that Councillors have a seminar on the health white paper that finishes an hour before the Mayor's Ball begins.  Going to be interesting if we turn up all dressed up, with somewhere to go.
A Lib Dem Regional Officers meeting gives a real opportunity for some forward planning as well as getting some progress on the constitution.  I am most certainly not a constiutional fanatic, but must say that I have come across many occasions in pulic life when having resort to a good one has saved the day, and one of my roles of president is guardian of the constitution !  there is a phone conference tomorrow with Paul Burstow, our Health Minister, and I am given the opportunity to represent the region - wasn't expecting that after hearing all the problems earlier in the day !
