Key points, in the publisher's words
- It’s lovely to be here in Camden. So thank you to Zappi for for letting us all use their space.
- It is genuinely lovely for me to be in Camden this afternoon, because I know that you are all from North, South, East and West, all over the country.
- But this part of London- though I am very much a Northerner - this part of London is special to me. Now University College London, their halls, student halls are literally just up the road there on Camden Road, a couple people nodding.
Figures in this announcement

- “Now because A&E isn’t the right place if you’re in a mental health crisis, we have a plan for 59 mental health emergency departments and to help people who have been in crisis stay well we’re spending 343 million pounds on 100 Community Based Mental Health Centres.”
