note that Mrs Dunne received an extensive briefing from very senior Health officials last week, that there are multiple FOIs on multiple issues regarding this by a number of members of the opposition, and that I made a statement and a motion was moved immediately afterwards. My office sought to respect the opposition and to respect this chamber by giving notice to Mrs Dunne that we would be not providing the AECOM report due to its cabinet in-confidence nature. With a blow-by-blow and different motions coming forth, it would be appreciated if the work of the Health Directorate could be focused on fixing this problem and not responding endlessly when we have been very generous with our time.
I have been very open with Mrs Dunne and the opposition. I gave a 20-minute statement in this chamber and answered multiple questions. I ask that they give some thought, because of the burden of the multiple requests for the same things in multiple different ways, to the burden on the directorate when they are going through an extensive work program to fix this problem. If members opposite could get their act together and provide me with a list of questions that they would like answered, I would be happy to do so. I have always indicated to Mrs Dunne that I will be open and transparent, including in this place, but some advance notice, as we have given Mrs Dunne in return, would be appreciated.
Question resolved in the affirmative.
