          <by role="member" id="3121">Mr PENGILLY (Finniss) (14:57): </by> My question, once again, is to the Minister for Health. Why must a person who has had a laryngectomy (removal of the voice box through throat cancer) be forced to travel on the ferry and connections both sides (a total of 4½ hours) when motion sickness can be life threatening and they have been told that under PATS they cannot fly?</text>
