Mr. Deputy Speaker, he should further tell us whether this forms part of specialised equipment; bicarbonate cartridges – bicarbonate is salt, so, these are salt cartridges, bicarbonate concentrate, ICU beds complete with mattresses, ripple mattresses, HDU beds complete with mattresses, bedside monitors, infusion pumps, syringe pumps, resuscitation trolleys and crash carts, suctions vacuum bottles, refrigerators for keeping blood, refrigerators for keeping food, refrigerators for keeping drugs, cardiac stethoscope for adults, cardiac stethoscopes for paediatrics, patient trolleys, sport lights torches, sport lights drip stands, microwave ovens, trolley dressings, trolleys for general purposes, trolleys for instruments, wash basins, baby coats, electric kettles, nebulizers, forceps for adults, forceps for children and medical gas plants for oxygen and vacuum. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, first, can the Chairman tell this House and the country if those are specialised medical equipment that are worth importation and supply to The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.
