Again, then, for the record, I am advised that there has been no impact on the continuity of care for transferees and refugees on Nauru and that another senior medical officer remains on the island. I will also reiterate for the record that I'm advised that there are 65 health professionals contracted by the Australian government to provide health services on Nauru, including 33 mental health professionals. Again, these services are available seven days a weeks and after hours. Again, Senator McKim, this equates to a ratio of one medical professional for every 11 transferees on the island.
