What has happened shows what we could achieve if we only had one team in the competition.

I wish to say a few words about the overusage of antibiotics. Will the Leader use his good office and invite the Minister to address the House on this issue? Antibiotics were the medical miracle of the 20th century and were used as an essential part of everyday health care treatment. Unfortunately, they have been overused in recent times, being overprescribed at GP and hospital levels, often under pressure from patients. It has happened to such an extent that many bugs have become resistant to them. This issue must be addressed. It has been flagged by the World Health Organization, WHO, which has set alarm bells ringing. We need an awareness or information campaign for the public.
