Chairman NHS Peterborough on Spending Cuts

Marco Cereste Chairman of NHS Peterborough talks to the BBC’s Antonia Brickell about his plans to cut £20 million from the NHS Budget as part of an effort to save £33 million required to balance the budget. Broadcast in the 17:00 Drivetime Show on Wednesday 19th May 2010 on BBC Radio Cambridgeshire.

ANTONIA BRICKELL: Now this afternoon another meeting was held to discuss how NHS Peterborough will make thirty three million pounds in savings. The main concern of course is how to still provide efficient healthcare services. Well, Marco Cereste is the Chairman of NHS Peterborough’s Board, also Leader of the Council. He’s on the phone right now. Hi, Marco.
MARCO CERESTE: Hi. Good afternoon.
ANTONIA BRICKELL: How are you going to make these savings without affecting the standard of healthcare?
MARCO CERESTE: Well first of all we’re not going to make thirty three million pounds worth of savings in financial year two thousand ten eleven. We’re pitching to make twenty million pounds worth of savings, which is just still enormous. So, you know, it’s not that I’m trying to say it’s any less of a problem. What we’re trying to do of course is to make the delivery of healthcare in the city more efficient and more effective in order for everybody to be able to still get what they need when they need it, but do it in a different way.
ANTONIA BRICKELL: But how are you going to keep things going if you’ve got to make twenty million pounds worth of cuts? OK, not as much as thirty three. But how are you going to keep the standard up? Continue reading “Chairman NHS Peterborough on Spending Cuts”

Marco Cereste Conservative Leader of Peterborough City Council and Chairman of NHS Peterborough comments on efforts to dislodge homeless migrants from their makeshift camps, and on the use of consultants to achieve the £27 million NHS Peterborough spending cuts required to combat the ongoing deficit. Broadcast at 08:10 on Monday 19th April 2010 in the Paul Stainton Breakfast Show on BBC Radio Peterborough.

STAINTON: Now a group of migrants living in a makeshift camp in Peterborough will be forced off the site if they haven’t left by mid-day today. Six immigrants have been living rough near Potters Way for about six months. Two weeks ago they were told to leave by the UK Border Agency and the City Council. Peterborough City Council Leader Marco Cereste is with us. Good morning Marco.
CERESTE: Hello Paul. Good morning. How are you?
STAINTON: I’m very good, thank you. Very good indeed. Just explain to us why they have to be moved on.
CERESTE: Well first of all it’s an illegal encampment. And they are sitting on council land, on public land, and making a nuisance of themselves. Continue reading “Marco Cereste on Eurotramps and Value for Money”

John Bridge on Immigration

John Bridge, Chairman of Opportunity Peterborough, comments on recent media stories about immigration issues in Peterborough. Broadcast at 07:10 on Wednesday 14th April 2010 in the Paul Stainton Breakfast Show on BBC Radio Peterborough.

STAINTON: The Chairman of Opportunity Peterborough has criticised two city councillors for expressing their concern about the effect of immigration in Peterborough. You may have seen the stories in the newspapers at the weekend. Independent councillors Charlie Swift and Keith Sharp wrote to the leaders of the three main parties to tell them about the effect of EU migration in the North Ward. We covered the story way back in January, but it’s just featured in a range of national newspapers in recent days. Councillor Swift spoke to Radio Cambridgeshire yesterday. (TAPE)
SWIFT: Well I told them in no uncertain manner how my ward .. I’ve represented this ward for fifty six years, I’m very proud of the fact .. but I’ve seen it, not only this area but the areas adjacent to us, deteriorate. We’re waiting now, we’ve got about forty or fifty vacancies at the school round the corner, no places for children to go. We’re having to reopen schools that were closed only a few years ago because they said we haven’t got enough pupils. And I don’t think they realise that at the same time they’re talking about making drastic cuts in public expenditure, that it’s just not on. Because we’ve got all these extra pressures that are coming in. And there’s nothing racialist about it, they do not realise the effect at this present time, that all these extra bodies that we’ve got, on the health service, is creating.
