Good evening and welcome to the Pompey Politics Podcast.

I'm Ian Tini Morris.

And I'm Simon Sandsbury.

As November progresses the latest episode of the podcast,

our focus this week against the backdrop of all sorts of cabinet

reshuffle shenanogonery and threats to world peace. We're going to focus in closer to home.

Looking at Portsmouth and perhaps what should be the first line of healthcare provision.

We've had a pharmacy summit this week in Portsmouth,

and we have got a very esteemed guest to give us the inside track.

Simon, would you like to introduce?

So we are joined again by Friend of the Pod, Councillor Matthew Winnington, who is the Cabinet

member for health, well-being and social care on Portsmouth City Council.

Good evening, Matthew, and welcome back.

Thanks very much.

Lovely to be here.

Thank you.

So thank you.

Every time you come back, your title seems to get a little bit longer with something else tacked on.

I'm sure I'm not imagining that.

But if you could, first of all, give us a quick insight into what this pharmacy summit was and why was it called?

Yeah, yeah.

And I say, thanks so much for being here.
