JJ highlighted that all green rated actions have been either completed or actioned appropriately. He focused on actions which were still open and the following updates were received: Action 3.2 – DP stated that he had been told by a patient that blankets were light weight and short in supply. PN clarified that there was an unlimited supply of blankets in the hospital and explained that they are light weight for the reason of easy washing; she further added that thick and warm blankets increase a risk of patient acquiring pressure ulcers. DP further stated that the comment was received from the patient during cold winter period and the patient felt the thickness of blanked did not match the season. LW further clarified that it is important to ensure that hospital blankets meet infection control criteria; a research on the weight of a blanket was undertaken couple of years ago and hospital blankets comply with the outcome of this research. She added that she has personally checked supply of blankets and did not find any shortages in hospital. JJ thanked DP for raising the issue and the Executive for looking into it. He encouraged DP to get in touch with the Executive colleagues directly should the need arise with such issues in the future. Action 1.4.1 – LW clarified that this action is linked to staff survey and a paper will be brought to a future Council of Governors meeting. SG informed the governors that a comprehensive discussion on the survey results took place at the March People and Organisational Development Committee (PODC). Subsequently, divisional action plans to address the survey results were shared with the PODC at its April meeting with a discussion being planned on the implementation timetable for the May PODC; if required it will also be discussed by the Board at its June Away Day. JJ concluded that staff survey results including the action point on potential correlation between workforce and race discrimination will be brought to the July Council of Governors. Action: TS to bring staff survey results paper including the action point on potential correlation between workforce and race discrimination to the July Council of Governors. Action 1.5 – JJ noted that a finance session to go through the operational plan has been confirmed for 17 May 2019. Action 2.1 – JJ confirmed that Associate NED post will be considered by the Nominations and Remuneration Committee with a recommendation being brought to the Council of Governors in due course. Action: The Council of Governors Nominations and Remuneration Committee to consider and come back with a recommendation. (THH) Action 2.5 – AH, AHP and LW expressed interest in attending dementia training. Governors were encouraged to send expressions of interest to VD. COG Away Day agreed actions In response to the action regarding option for mandatory disclosure when seeking re-election, JJ invited governors’ views. Page 2 of 8 Overall Page 7 of 123 KK felt it was a useful metric for members to understand how many meetings governors standing for re- election attended before casting their vote. EH suggested that this might be done in coordination with the Lead Governor providing feedback to governors standing for re-election however KK suggested there was a risk it would be perceived as a subjective decision. In the spirit of transparency MK supported the view of attendance disclosure when seeking re-election. AH suggested the importance of attending COG meetings could be highlighted at the Governor induction process. ND commented that in some circumstances the reason for absence could be described on the attendance register. JJ supported a view that governors draw attention to attendance in their election statements if they wish and where it is not disclosed members can request a copy of governor attendance.

  • The Labour Party and the Idea of Citizenship, C. 193 1-1951
    The Labour Party and the Idea of Citizenship, c. 193 1-1951 ABIGAIL LOUISA BEACH University College London Thesis presented for the degree of PhD University of London June 1996 I. ABSTRACT This thesis examines the development and articulation of ideas of citizenship by the Labour Party and its sympathizers in academia and the professions. Setting this analysis within the context of key policy debates the study explores how ideas of citizenship shaped critiques of the relationships between central government and local government, voluntary groups and the individual. Present historiographical orthodoxy has skewed our understanding of Labour's attitude to society and the state, overemphasising the collectivist nature and centralising intentions of the Labour party, while underplaying other important ideological trends within the party. In particular, historical analyses which stress the party's commitment from the 1930s to achieving the transition to socialism through a strategy of planning, (of industrial development, production, investment, and so on), have generally concluded that the party based its programme on a centralised, expert-driven state, with control removed from the grasp of the ordinary people. The re-evaluation developed here questions this analysis and, fundamentally, seeks to loosen the almost overwhelming concentration on the mechanisms chosen by the Labour for the implementation of policy. It focuses instead on the discussion of ideas that lay behind these policies and points to the variety of opinions on the meaning and implications of social and economic planning that surfaced in the mid-twentieth century Labour party. In particular, it reveals considerable interest in the development of an active and participatory citizenship among socialist thinkers and politicians, themes which have hitherto largely been seen as missing elements in the ideas of the interwar and immediate postwar Labour party.

  • Westminster Abbey
    Westminster Abbey A Service of Thanksgiving to celebrate the 300th anniversary of Westminster Hospital Thursday 23rd May 2019 Noon HISTORICAL NOTE On 14th January 1716, four men met at St Dunstan’s Coffee House on Fleet Street. It was at this momentous meeting that the Charitable Proposal for Relieving the Sick and Needy and Other Distressed Persons was drawn up, setting in motion a series of events that lead to the creation of the Chelsea and Westminster Hospital as we know it today. These four men were Mr Henry Hoare, a banker, Mr William Wogan, a writer on religious subjects, Mr Robert Witham, a wine merchant, and The Reverend Patrick Cockburn, Curate Emeritus of St Dunstan’s Church. Mr Hoare and his fellow founders contributed their own money to provide relief, care, necessities, and company for the sick poor. In 1719 the Trustees and Managers of the Charity for Relieving the Sick and Needy, a new incarnation of the society comprised of twelve men, met at the same St Dunstan’s Coffee House. In the coming years, the trustees rented a house in Petty France, Pimlico, which became the Society’s first infirmary: the first hospital to be formed since the Reformation and the first charitable funded hospital in the world. By 1724, the 18-bed infirmary had become inadequate and a larger property was found in Chappell Street, which later became The Broadway. The hospital relocated to Castle Lane in 1735, creating the Establishment for Incurables. The opening of Westminster Bridge in 1750 saw an increase in injuries resulting from road accidents which led to an early form of Accident and Emergency being created.

It is this tradition of philanthropy and the wonderful supporters of The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity that has enabled us to play a vital role ensuring patients receive the very best cancer care not just at The Royal Marsden but across the UK.
