Hipkins ChrisHon CHRIS HIPKINS (Minister of Health): If I could just run through the variety of issues that have been raised so far and then I'm sure there'll be more. In terms of the overall response to COVID-19 it is interesting to reflect on that now. Of course we learn more as every day goes by around COVID-19 and it's easy to reflect back to March and assume that we knew everything back in March that we know now. Of course we have continued to learn more about COVID-19 about the way it is spread and a whole lot of the things that we didn't have good information on when we made those early decisions. Of course we've got better information on them now.In terms of the increased investment in planned care the Ministry of Health is currently negotiating with district health boards plans for that investment to ensure that that money does flow through to increased electives and other planned care to make sure that we're increasing the overall number but also clearing the backlog that was created by COVID-19. The couple of questions around the role of the director-general with regard to managed isolation and quarantine facilities: of course the director-general sets the requirements around who should isolate and for how long. The operational aspects of that now rest under Megan Woods' delegation as the Minister responsible and Air Commodore Webb who will answer questions on that.The role of the public health services the ongoing role of the public health services in relation to our COVID-19 response: of course testing and tracing is a vitally important part of our response as a country to keeping COVID-19 out of the country and the Ministry of Health has oversight of that.Work on the development of a vaccine: Dr Woods is leading that for the Government as Minister of Research Science and Innovation. As Minister of Health I am leading the preparation for when a vaccination is ready. We cannot wait until we actually have a vaccination before figuring out how we would administer the vaccination because nobody wants to see 5 million vaccinations at the point where we actually get them sitting in a fridge while we figure out how to actually administer them. So that work is already under way now and I've had some early discussions with officials about being ready and making sure that we're in a position to administer the vaccine when it's available. In terms of the data questions that Dr Reti raised again I think it would be fair to conclude that things have gotten better as we have gone along and some of that early data-collection as I think has been well canvassed was not as good as it should have been. When I visited the border in Auckland about two weeks ago I can now tell him that as everyone comes off a plane before they even leave the airport they go and see someone from Health who finds their NHI their National Health Index number so that that's recorded right from the minute they basically set foot in New Zealand. That will certainly help with the data collection because that number can then follow them all the way through. The member raised a concern around the offloading of the Air New Zealand flight. Again the response to that issue was predominantly managed by Megan Woods and Air Commodore Webb. Of course it was an operational decision by Air New Zealand. The advice that I've had is that Air New Zealand selected which of the passengers were removed from the flight. It wasn't Health; it was Air New Zealand who selected that based on the operational requirements of the plane—i.e. making sure the plane was not overloaded. I'm very happy to look into whether we can get an ethnic breakdown of those passengers. Certainly I now get—and it's publicly released on the Ministry of Health website—a breakdown of the ethnic testing done every day in New Zealand. And of course the managed isolation and quarantine facilities are doing testing every day of the people at day three and day 12. So therefore in order to supply the breakdown they will have to have an ethnic identifier for those people who are having those tests. So I'm sure that there'll be data now. That was several weeks ago that that incident happened but I'm certainly happy to go back and look and see whether we can provide more detailed data for the member.
