I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
(1) In line with
the COVID-19 system alert red phase up until 16 May 2022, child health
appointments were being delivered by a two-step
process. The first part of the appointment was completed by phone and covered all components of the check apart from a physical assessment. The second part
of the appointment— physical
assessment—was face to face, either at home or at a clinic. The revised
definition of ''close contacts '' supported a return to
usual one-step appointments.
(2)–(3) Not applicable.
