MADAM SPEAKER: Ms Lee, could you repeat the first part of the question?
MS LEE: Yes, Madam Speaker. It was in response to a question asked by Mr Hanson of Mr Corbell in September 2015, where Mr Corbell advised the Assembly:
… the circumstances in relation to 9 September related to a malfunction in an electrical safety switchboard at the Canberra Hospital which was overheating and was causing potential disruption to electrical supply to significant parts of the hospital.
The question is: did an investigation following that incident indicate that parts of the Canberra Hospital’s electrical system were extreme or at high risk?

MS FITZHARRIS: I will take the question on notice.
MRS DUNNE: Minister, were there any disruptions to the hospital caused by faulty electrical systems before September 2015?
MS FITZHARRIS: I will take the question on notice.
