No mention of anything ME related but few 'interesting' remarks:
"The first was explained by the title of the meeting, an open discussion about the future of the NHS"
"It was lively—you don’t normally get heckling at medical meetings."
"Heckling apart, it worked well. Sarah Wollaston MP and Chair of the Health Select Committee demonstrated why she was re elected to that critical post unopposed, showing grace under pressure, as indeed did other seasoned campaigners such as Nigel Edwards, Philippa Whitford, and Clare Gerada (aka my wife)."
"But as I refused to be drawn into the “are you with Hunt or Hawking?” debate, all of the interviews ended up on the cutting room floor. Except one. Advice for when you have something you want to say, but the media don’t want to hear—go live."

he's clearly enjoying his new role as President of the Royal Society of Medicine
