Dave Harper apologised for the late notice cancellation of the July meeting. This was due to a short notice tube strike. Rachel Perkins had kindly agreed to re-schedule her talk to today. There was a discussion of how CMHF’s demonstration outside the Department of Health on 12 August 2002 had gone.

Rachel Perkins talked about employment and mental health in particular focusing on the innovative work done in her project in South London & St George’s Trust.
