    "content": "Then we have the second recommendation again on investigation. The timeline is one month. The Senate oversight committee for this is the Committee on Health. Maybe even as we get to reply, it would be good to hear something on this. Maybe it is not yet on this report but we might be getting insights as to what this Committee on Health has done in terms of follow up. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the fourth recommendation is regarding the Act. Provide an elaborate framework for the conduct of a rapid market survey in case of emergency procurement. This is key to have a quick rapid market survey of what is available, who can procure what and how it can be given. In a public entity it is not reflective of an existing market or environment. The recommendation at the end of the day is the need to provide an elaborate framework for the conduct of rapid market survey. Provide for the publication of procurement plans by a public entity within five days of issuance. Publish an annual procurement projection. Setting intentions and probable timings in coming 24-month period. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, in terms of working and technicality, this is a broad overview which will be very important. It is not just for the entities that are contained in this report but generally for all entities in this country. You have a projection. The reasoning for this is that where there is a crisis, you can now begin to have variations. However, you already have a projection that has been put into place. Undertake an audit of the existing reporting structures. The actors are the Ministry of Health and the authority has been given a different responsibility. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I want to end there. I just want to say that a lot of comprehensive details have been put by this committee that can change the health sector completely. The onus is on us to decide how we want to proceed to infuse some of this knowledge coming from what we have had as a crisis and as we look how to analyse how best we can move forward. That we are able to look and see how and where it should have been done and how best to counteract. This is so that in another situation, such a situation can be counteracted right in advance by having pre-thought about it even before that time. I thank you."
