Have others on the list received this email from Cameron?  At least two
people I know have received it - unsolicited - wondering how Downing St
got the addresses and how use of them is DP compliant.  Most likely
possibility is that the Downing St petitions website has been plundered
for addresses, but if so I suspect such use was not part of the fair
processing notice.

PRIME MINISTER  19 January 2011    
>I’ve been in Downing Street for over eight months now and it seems
to me that 
>the business of government falls into a couple of categories. There
the things 
>you do because it’s your duty. They might not be very popular, but
you get on 
>with them because it’s in the national interest. That’s what this
Coalition is 
>doing when it comes to cutting the deficit.
>But there are also the things you do because it’s your passion –
the things that 
>get you up in the morning and you really want to deliver. And this
week, I’ve 
>been setting out our plans for something that is a massive passion of
mine – the 
>modernisation of our public services.
>When you look at our public services today, there is so much to be
proud of. 
>I’ve been to some great schools in some of our most deprived areas
that give 
>every child a chance. And I’ve visited fantastic hospitals staffed
by the most 
>dedicated doctors and nurses. But if we’re honest, there is another
side too. In 
>too many instances, people are asked to settle for second best. And I,
like so 
>many, share the burning impatience of those who want things to be
better.
>So we plan some really important changes to do just that. If I could
describe 
>that change in one line, it would be this: to put you, the people who
use public 
>services, in control.
>This may sound obvious but for years now, the opposite has been true.
Through a 
>load of targets and inspections and performance indicators, our public
service 
>professionals have been forced to answer to Ministers in Whitehall.
And that’s 
>why things haven’t improved enough: they haven’t been able to
focus on what you 
>need.
>We’re turning that system on its head. We’re going to get rid of
the bureaucracy 
>that wastes so much money and saps so much staff morale and give our 
>professionals the freedom to get on with the job in hand. For example,
in the 
>NHS, GPs will take control of budgets and directly commission services
on your 
>behalf. This not only makes sense. As they are the ones who see you on
a regular 
>basis, they are in a much better position to understand your needs and
shop 
>around for services on your behalf. It’s also what so many GPs want.
Already, 
>over 140 GP-led consortia have come forward, covering half the
country.
>But in return for that freedom, our professionals are going to have
someone new 
>to answer to. You. So we’re going to give you a much greater say
over where you 
>send your child to school or where you get treated – and back those
choices with 
>state money. We’re going to inject competition into the system,
inviting 
>charities, social enterprises and private companies to come in and
provide a 
>great service that will always be free at the point of use. And, as
we’re doing 
>in the fight against crime, we’re also going to give you the chance
to vote in 
>locally-elected individuals to set policing priorities. At the same
time as 
>doing all this, we’re going to be really open about how money is
spent on public 
>services and the results they achieve.
>This is a complete change in the way our public services are run. For
the first 
>time, you will call the shots and public services will really respond
to what 
>you need. And I believe the ambition of these changes demonstrates
just how 
>radical this Coalition is. People said we wouldn’t agree on
everything – the 
>truth is, we’re having proper discussions about what really works
and the 
>policies that result are incredibly bold.
>I really believe Britain can be one of the next decade’s great
success stories. 
>But for that to happen, we need the best schools and hospitals, safe
streets and 
>prisons that properly reform people. The changes we have set out this
week are a 
>giant step towards that. 
>
