with the gcse revision this week. how would you describe steve barclay? you talked about stamina, he is clearly somebody with lots of energy. he say he uses stamina? you say he oozes stamina? laughter. i have not thought about that. i wouldn't say he uses it in any context, particularly when you connect it with any individuals, individuals using is probably a bit icky. he was very energetic and he was obviously very committed... i sort of expected the meetings would be that he would delegate that role to the nhs employers, who the department, they contract them to deliver that kind of bargaining for the health service. so it was quite surprising to me that he was going to take personal responsibility.
