Hon ANDREW LITTLE: The way we have approached the health reform process is exactly to fund additional personnel to manage through the change process so that the business-as-usual processes of our hospital system are not affected. Hospitals have been under unusual pressure this year partly because, as a result of COVID last year, the number of infections and winter infections that would ordinarily happen did not happen, and that has led to an unusually high number of infections, particularly respiratory infections and respiratory syncytial virus, that has put extraordinary pressure on our hospitals this year. I'm confident that with the work that the ministry's doing to support hospitals, their clinical leadership, and their management, they are getting through what has been a very difficult winter.
