Phone conference on Health issues

Again with my Regional Lib Dem hat on I had the privelege of being part in a telephone conference with Paul Burstow, Minister of State for the Department of Health.  A most interesting discussion where Paul gave us quite a bit of information about progress on the reforms to the Health and Social Care Bill, and listened to concerns.  Sorry cannot reveal what was said at this stage, but I did feel a lot of relief that despite all the problems it has created, thank goodness we are part of the coalition, and able to have some influence on what is happening.
It all goes back to February this year, when a number of us signed to support an amendment to a motion on health policy.  I was able to be there and vote to make sure that amendment went through.  The rest is history to be made.
