The SPEAKER: I am sure Her Majesty's Opposition would extend to the member for Wright the same liberties they enjoy, namely, three warnings before they go out.

We are doing what we have been asked to do and that is to continue the cardiac service at The Queen Elizabeth Hospital. We will continue to use that service; that's what we have been asked to do and that's what we are doing.
