| 0:00.0 | Hello everyone I'm Rory Kettlin Jones and before we get underway with the last episode of this series |
| 0:05.6 | Mailbag Edition we wanted to bring you up to date with a couple of things that have happened since we recorded it and with me I've got a dynamic duo, |
| 0:14.2 | Gillian and the judge to help. Now Gillian you were the driving force |
| 0:18.9 | behind the Parkey Charter which we took to Downing Street a few weeks ago but since then we've had a really |
| 0:24.3 | important meeting so explain what happened we have indeed we've met with Victoria |
| 0:28.8 | Atkins who's the health secretary and we were all really genuinely very surprised at how |
| 0:35.2 | interested she was in the issue. You know we're a bunch of hardened |
| 0:39.3 | hacks on the whole plus the judge who I think would qualify as a hardened judge I don't know what the |

| 1:25.7 | interested and I was most impressed that she wanted to ask some intelligent questions |
| 1:30.6 | instead of those obvious ones so for example when we said there are too few |
| 1:34.0 | neurologists, I mean that is pitiful. 44th out of 45 countries in Europe we are |
| 1:39.7 | in terms of the number of neurologists per head. She wanted to go right back and find out why is that? |
| 1:45.2 | You know, why are people not becoming neurologists? And she actually, she had her civil servants in the room and |
| 1:50.8 | she gave them tasks. Exactly. minion got something to do so and then and |
