Podcast feedHealthwatch Camden Reports on local Care Homes
Anna Wright tells how Healthwatch Camden was about to use its powers to visit and check on the quality of local care homes when it heard that ‘Independent Age’ was keen to develop indicators to help ordinary people to assess the quality of care homes they might think of using. The resulting collaboration was so successful that Independent Age is recommending that all MPs get their local Healthwatch to inspect and report on their local care homes using the eight quality indicators that they have developed.

Interview with Natalie Bennett: Parliamentary Candidate for the Green Party in Holborn and St Pancras
The political profile of the Green Party has been rising sharply, not least in Camden where its Leader,

Natalie Bennett, Green Party
Will Blair, Conservative Party
Jill Fraser, Liberal Democrat Party
Vanessa Helen Hudson, Animal Welfare Party
Shane O’Donnell, Cannabis is Safer than Alcohol

Interview with Jill Fraser: Parliamentary candidate for the Liberal Democrat Party in Holborn and St Pancras
Ten years ago Jill Fraser stood in the Holborn and St Pancras
constituency as the Lib Dem candidate. It was said she gave
Labour a bit of a scare. She’s back again with another attempt
to take the seat held for more than thirty years by Frank
Dobson, who’s retiring. She spoke to our reporter Ann Carroll
about her political beginnings, her determination to represent
the local community even if that puts her at odds with her
party, and fish and chips.
The full list of candidates is:
Natalie Bennett, Green Party
Will Blair, Conservative Party
Jill Fraser, Liberal Democrat Party
Vanessa Helen Hudson, Animal Welfare Party
Shane O’Donnell, Cannabis is Safer than Alcohol
