404. Mr Basil Zempilas to
the Minister for Health:
I have a
supplementary question. Is the minister confirming that as health minister, her
policy is that patients, parents and frontline workers should not be informed
immediately when lead and Legionella are
detected in our hospitals?

AnswerView source ↗

That is not what I
said. What I said I would do is follow the advice of our Chief Health Officer.
He is the expert. That is his job, and I will take his advice as I receive it.
