00:00 I think it's really important that under my chairmanship we build on the alignments
00:07 previously but really strengthen the alignment between the Wigan Warriors and WWL and the
00:16 NHS. Because we've got two organisations in this wonderful borough that share similar
00:24 values Sanjay, share values and especially the fact that we're deep rooted in the communities
00:33 that we serve. So I am determined that we have that real special bond between the Wigan
00:40 Warriors and WWL and the NHS and I'm looking forward to working with colleagues to make
00:47 that happen. I'm absolutely delighted to hear and I'll see that when families and friends
00:58 have fears and anxieties which they will have, they will have opportunity here in a calm
01:07 private place to talk about those concerns. Really important that that is there. I'd also
01:18 like to strongly support the work of our Macmillan colleagues and how they inspire and their
01:30 dedication and I've always been in awe of their commitment, steadfast to care. It gives
01:40 me enormous pleasure to officially declare the Macmillan Palliative Care Hub open. Thank
01:47 you.
