Has the committee been briefed by the Capital and Coast District Health Board on what steps it is taking with regard to child cancer services in Wellington; if so, when is the committee expected to report to the House?

Yes, the Health Committee has been briefed by the Capital and Coast District Health Board, and I am hopeful that the committee will be able to report to the House as soon as possible and in the very near future, but, obviously, as the member well knows, that is a matter for the committee to decide.

Does the committee intend to call any other witnesses for this inquiry, and will the parents of child cancer patients have the chance to appear before the committee to tell their stories about their experiences at the Capital and Coast District Health Board?

KedgleySUE KEDGLEY Link to this

As the member well knows, I cannot reveal what the committee is doing before it has deliberated upon the matter, so I cannot answer the question as to whether we will be calling further evidence at this stage.
