MR MILLIGAN: Minister, will you reconsider the details of the transition package, given that few to no trainers are taking up the government’s package?
MR RAMSAY: I thank Mr Milligan for the question. With respect to the premise of the question, I do not have the information at this stage to be able to accept it, but we are working with the transition task force in being able to develop a range of services. There is still quite a significant amount of time available, and I do encourage people to make contact with the task force between now and the time that the task force support will end, which is 30 June next year.

MS LAWDER: Minister, what measures were put in place to ensure the safety of patients, staff and visitors to the Canberra Hospital, both internally and externally, to justify that downgrade?
MS FITZHARRIS: I am afraid I did not quite understand the question. If Ms Lawder could repeat it?
MS LAWDER: What measures have been put in place to ensure the safety of patients, staff and visitors, externally and internally, to justify the downgrade of the window from extreme to high risk? How did you justify downgrading it?
