We have a serious health crisis in this country. We have a challenge as a House. I hear that the Departmental Committee on Health has a Report, but I think we need to give adequate time to debate the issue of health in this country as a House.

Delayed Exchequer releases significantly contribute to pending bills and interfere with procurement plans of Ministries and departments.
