          <by role="member" id="4697">The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Leader of the Opposition) (14:25):</by>  Supplementary question: so that we are very clear, is it the minister's contention that reopening the 25 beds at Hampstead could have no effect on the crisis we are currently facing in our hospitals? Is that really what he is trying to say?</text>

WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:25):</by>  What I am trying to say is that I will continue to rely on management and clinicians to match their resources with their need.
