Perhaps things can get crazier, but I do not know how. I ask that the Minister ensure that assessments, which I believe are unnecessary - anybody with a computer can download these assessments which are available internationally - conducted on behalf of the State are used only by the State and are not put into the public domain where they can be used by others to deny treatments. Will the Leader ask the Minister, with his new health insurance commissioner, to look at the practices of the for-profit private insurance companies, some of which I believe are behaving extremely badly. As previously stated, I believe people should think carefully about signing up to insurance with Aviva, GloHealth and, possibly, Laya.
