Thank you, Mr Speaker. I appreciate the call. I actually rose to take a point of order at the end of the minister for health’s answer to that question. I was clearly standing at the dispatch box for several seconds and you allowed the minister to finish her answer, which you are entirely within your right to do. I then did not get the opportunity to take the point of order because you did not recognise me, so I put it to you as a question. But now I am happy to take it as a point of order. Mr Speaker, have you decided that standing order 98, ‘Questions to ministers’, about what they can be questioned upon, no longer applies?
