Given that the Member has asked 66 similar questions, provision of this volume of information would require considerable research which would divert staff attention away from their normal duties and I am not prepared to allocate the State's resources to provide a response. If the Member has a specific query in relation to a particular attendance at the hospital I would be prepared to consider providing further information.
