My question is to the Minister for Health. Minister, on 3 June you wrote to the Tasmanian Minister for Health and offered to reallocate funding to continue for three years the Psychiatric Emergency Nurses program at the Royal Hobart Hospital—thank you. But three weeks later doubt remains about the program continuing for anywhere near that long. Minister, what is going on with the Tasmanian government, and what assurance can you give that the PEN program is safe?
