The Committee invited the Ministry and received responses. Subsequently, the CS for Health also wrote to the Committee and made available responses sought by the Members, which I beg to submit. Hon. Deputy Speaker, through your guidance, I would like to know whether you will allow me to go through the submission because of the nature of the questions and the interest."
