What follows is a sound-only recording of Charlotte Monro from Action4Whipps, Anna Moore from the Green at Barts Health campaign and host Jenny Fisher of East London News speaking on the "20:20 Vision" programme 10pm yesterday evening, Tuesday 17th November

The public event was streamed live on the VodTalk Youtube Channel where it will no doubt be posted eventually as a full video, but for now we can bring you the sound track. With only three participants it isn't strictly necessary to have the video content in order to know who's talking, but as soon as it becomes available we will give you that also. If anybody happens to know of a link where the full version is available please let me know by emailing David Gardiner
Thanks.
