I will do as the senator asked in relation to the first supplementary and take the time frame on notice. In terms of the final supplementary from Senator Griff, general practitioner, nursing and mental health clinics are available on Manus. There is also after-hours medical staffing to respond to any medical emergencies. These services are supplemented by visiting health practitioners and telehealth services where required. In addition, transferees on Manus have access to a range of clinical specialties, including emergency medicine, a 24/7 emergency evacuation service, general surgery and blood supply services. In total, since July 2015 the government has spent $291 million on health service contracts on regional processing countries. As I indicated before, I will take on notice your first supplementary.
