Increasing access to healthcare

The Prime Minister’s push for improved healthcare continued this week with the government’s Primary Care advisor Dr David Colin-Thome taking part in a live Q and A on this website. Read the transcript of the event here. Later in the week the government’s reforms turned to welfare with the announcement of plans to improve the Child Support Agency.

Questioning the PM

The Prime Minister made his first appearance before the Liaison Select Committee this year as he answered questions for two and a half hours on the G8 and the EU, education and health reforms and the Palestinian elections. Tony Blair faced questions of a different sort in his weekly PMQ’s covering topics including the cartoon demonstrations and his Respect action plan.

PM puts trust in teachers and parents

The government must put its trust in teachers and parents and give them the freedom to provide the best education for all children, Tony Blair said this week. More than 50 delegates, including blue-chip companies such as Microsoft, attended a school Trust seminar at Number 10 with the PM and Education Secretary Ruth Kelly.

Safer communities

"Community safety is everyone’s responsibility" the Prime Minister told an anti-social behaviour conference in Croydon, South London. Open a gallery of exclusive images here. The Safer Croydon Partnership’s event was promoting its success in reducing crime by joint working with the police, fire and health services as well as business and the voluntary sector.
