I knew Deborah professionally for a number of years, in recent times working with her as a key player in the London system responding to the COVID pandemic. Deborah always maintained a calm and professional manner no matter what came her way, inspiring trust and confidence in those around her and helping them to stay focused on doing the right thing for Londoners, as she always did. She was a highly valued colleague, a pleasure to work with and will be very much missed. Respect and thanks to Deborah in equal measure.
