Personal Explanation

Hospitals, Winter Demand

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:17): I seek leave to make a personal explanation.

Leave granted.

The Hon. S.G. WADE: In answers yesterday to a question by the Hon. Tung Ngo in relation to the winter demand strategy, I indicated that the decision to pause EPAS at the RAH was done in the context of overcrowding on 9 April. On reflection, the relevant overcrowding occurred on a number of days throughout March.

Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: Order! I now call on questions without notice.
