PAGB meeting at 10 Downing Street

Yesterday our Chief Executive, Michelle Riddalls, and Farhana Hawthorn, Head of Public Affairs and Communications, went to 10 Downing Street to discuss reclassification following the publication of the Delivery plan for recovering access to primary care.

The meeting, which included officials from Number 10, Department of Health and Social Care and Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency, was a productive discussion on the Government’s ambition on reclassification and how PAGB can help take forward the recommendations in the primary care recovery plan.

Those of you who have been in online meetings with our Chief Executive, Michelle, and met her cats, Clark and Lois, will appreciate how pleased she was to meet Larry the cat!
