Health and Hospital Care

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (15:25): A further supplementary: which patients will the minister be turning away to ensure that his hospitals are not full of patients?

The PRESIDENT: It's not really a supplementary but, minister, do you wish to answer it? You are putting a proposition, but does the minister want to respond?

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (15:25): The question indicates that the honourable member didn't even show the courtesy to the house to listen to the early proceedings. I have made it very clear that no patient will be turned away.

The PRESIDENT: The Hon. Mr Ngo, a supplementary?

The Hon. T.T. NGO: Yes, a supplementary.

Members interjecting:

The Hon. T.T. NGO: Thank you. Great journalist.

The PRESIDENT: The Hon. Mr Ngo, don't try my patience, get it out.

Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: Don't respond to the barbs of the government.
