What follows is a recording of the "20:20 Vision" programme on East London News on the evening of Tuesday 17th November hosted by Jenny Fisher. The speakers included Charlotte Monro from Action4Whipps and Anna Moore of the Green at Barts Health campaign

The public event was streamed live on the VodTalk Youtube Channel where it has since been posted as a full video. The first 4 minutes 45 seconds of the video recording is just technobabble so you can push the slider on the player across to that point without missing anything.
