VAN HOLST PELLEKAAN:</by>  —at the very end of my last answer, I said that I would do my best to satisfy the shadow minister, I would go and try to get a very specific answer, a specific number from the Minister for Health and Wellbeing, so that I can try to help him. That was the end of my last answer, and then his very next question was exactly the same question all over again. I am not sure what it is the opposition is trying to create here, what concerns they are trying to provide to people. I am not sure what else I can do to provide useful information, but I am more than happy to answer more questions.</text>
