Localis fringe event mentioned in conference round-up
Author: Michael White, HSJ |
In his round-up of the conference season, Michael White mentions our fringe event which he kindly chaired. Read his article on HSJ in full here and read more about the project that the fringe event is feeding into here.
At the Manchester conference fringe… the health secretary said he had assumed Tony Blair had won the battle for market facing solutions in 1997. But now it will have to be fought again.
That point was echoed at another fringe meeting, where Stephen Dorrell said he loved attending Labour conferences and saying ?I’m a Blairite?. It made them crosser every year.
Dorrell was on a local government panel discussing integration of devolved health and social care. It sounded chaotic but dynamic, and will need more money if the opportunity is not to be wasted in Manchester and other cities newly ?liberated? by George Osborne.
