• The knock on effect to our social care system. Does out social care system need to be moved into a collective ‘National Care Service’ together with the NHS under one umbrella?
• The effect of creeping privatisation in our NHS. What does that ultimately mean for patients and staff?

• Will Theresa May stay on as PM?
