London Ambulance Service Patients Forum Meeting Tonight at 5.30pm

Tonight is the monthly meeting of the LAS Patients Forum which I chair. We are having a discussion on Infection Control in the LAS, an issue which has hit the headlines last week with reports of superbugs etc. We will also be reporting back on the scrutiny into the LAS which was recently held by the London Assembly's Health and Public Services Committee, along with the news last week, widely reported in the press about a woman who suffered serious brain damage because of ambulance delays. A full agenda yet again.
