Update: See also Barkingside 21, for a report on the Lee Scott meeting
A well attended meeting was held on the previous Wednesday, 18 November at the Holiday Inn, Newbury Park organised by Lee Scott (Conservative MP for Ilford North) ably chaired by Chris Carter (Editor, Ilford Recorder) and addressed by the Chief Executive and others from the Barking, Havering and Redbridge Primary Care Trust.
