Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am happy the Assistant Minister has acknowledged that under Article 43(1) of the Constitution, it is indicated that every person has the right to the highest attainable standard of health. From what the Assistant Minister has indicated, indeed, that hospital does not show that the Government is complying with that Article.

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I thank the Prime Minister for addressing the issue of climate change and the way it is affecting lives. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the rains have changed and now we find that the short rains tend to be more towards December than in November.
