1. Notes from Last Meeting. These were read over. Robert spoke about the Chest Heart and Stroke Group he was involved with being interested in having a discharge pack provided. Robert agreed to feedback to them about our activities.
2. MSP letter. This was discussed by the whole group and also in smaller groups of two or three. We agreed to go ahead with this. Additional follow up steps were also considered.

3. Other points raised:

We could do radio interviews
Action on the letter or petition could be highlighted in the media through press releases.
