I have no doubt that if Mr Coe’s amendment succeeds today, in 12 months’ time the committee will seek an extension of time. Let us save the committee going through that process. Give them an appropriate period of time to consider all of the issues before them in this reference and to ensure that one of the most significant issues that any parliament will debate is given an appropriate period of time to cover all of the issues outlined.

Question put:

That the amendments be agreed to.

The Assembly voted—

Amendments agreed to.

Original question, as amended, resolved in the affirmative.

Sitting suspended from 12.39 to 2.30 pm.

Questions without notice

ACT Health—insurance claim

MR COE: My question is to the Minister for Health and Wellbeing. Minister, when does your directorate expect to finalise the insurance claim for the hospital switchboard fire in April this year?

MS FITZHARRIS: I will take the question on notice. I note that this came up in annual reports hearings because in the 2016-17 annual report there is an estimate of that insurance claim. I will come back to the Assembly with the date on which that claim is expected to be finalised.

MR COE: Minister, what is the approximate value of the claim or the estimate, and what impact do you expect it will have on the forthcoming premium?

MS FITZHARRIS: I recall from annual reports hearings that it was around $1.3 million, but I will clarify that and take the second part of the question on notice.

MRS DUNNE: Minister, what is the value of the damage done to the hospital by the fire?

MS FITZHARRIS: I will take the question on notice.
