There was a further loss in this last year of 10,000 independent, NHS and local authority places. In spite of projected increasing demand, the number of places in the southern home counties fell by 2.6% - which is getting on for twice the average for the country as a whole.

LET WOKING LEAD IN COMMUNITY RELATIONS
As a Guest Speaker at the Woking Community Relations Forum, Dr Lee spoke to a packed room at the Maybury Centre last night. She said " Woking has a wonderful mixed community of many religions and cultures. Our rich cultural life in Woking is not assisted by Daily Mail-type scare stories about asylum seekers. As the town has the oldest Mosque in the country what happens in Woking matters. There are many good examples of work going on in Woking which encourage all sections of the community to work together with support from groups such as the One World Week to be held later this month".

HOT ON HEALTH
The new Health Centre at West Byfleet opened in July 2003 is now hot on heart failure thanks to the generosity of the Busenhart Morgan Evans Foundation which donated a state of the art echo-cardiogram machine costing more than £60,000. Anne Lee (Woking Liberal Democrat's Parliamentary Spokesperson) was shown around the centre by Doctors Philip and Annette Cummin and learned how West Byfleet and Woking patients now have rapid access to checks for heart failure and other heart conditions using the new echo machine at the Centre. The scanner is also used by a visiting consultant radiologist to carry out abdominal scans. The funding for this is met by regular donations from The Friends of West Byfleet Health Centre.
