Both of these members have my clear health statement from 28 March. I took health leave. I didn't resign, therefore have never reneged and I wish to table that health statement from 28 March.

Members on my left, order! I remind members that standing order 94(a) is not just a standing order for question time. Is the member seeking leave to table a document?
