Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I have heard of board deliberations around the issue of privatization of various aspects of activity within the hospital. I am not sure of the time lines or what the status of any decisions around that are at this point in time.

I have offered a briefing to Members on the issue of the surgical ward for later this week, and certainly the issue of any privatization initiatives could be added to the agenda for that briefing. Thank you.
