When I sat face to face with Derek Wanless in 2002, whatimpressedme was the clarity of thinking about the long-term issues of health service productivity and demand.
I've had a constructive dialogue, there are outstanding questions, we shouldn't hide that, the SDLP owned inquiries and a number of other areas but I think that whatimpressedme as an attendee for the first time at these particular round-table talks was the absolute commitment of everyone there to make this process work.
Returning from two weeks traveling around Costa Rica, I am currently at the Inside ETF Conference and what has most impressedme so far is the seeming universal bullishness of most of the speakers and attendees.
