Cllr Jacqueline Dyer and Cllr Ed Davie, Lambeth’s cabinet members for health and adult social care, joined the celebrations.

Cllr Dyer said: “This is an opportunity for us to say thank you to the NHS on behalf of the people of Lambeth for the hugely valued public service it provides.

“This comes at a time when Lambeth council and the NHS are working ever more closely together to tackle key social issues, such mental health and adult social care.”
