With the re-constitution of the All Party Parliamentary Group on Rural Health and Care session 6 of the Parliamentary Inquiry into systems is set to run. We have a number of key witnesses lined up including the CEO of the Kings Fund. If you like to raise a question or come along in person just let us know. The session is around lunchtime on 28 February.
