Hon ANDREW LITTLE (Minister of Health): I am satisfied the clinicians at Middlemore Hospital made clinical decisions they had based on the best information they had at the time. The team at Counties Manukau District Health Board is experienced and provides high-quality clinical care. The DHB is managing a large proportion of positive patients and they are experienced in handling this. I've been advised by the Ministry of Health that all appropriate measures were complied with in relation to this case. I'm confident the DHB has a rigorous approach in place for the screening of potential COVID-19 - positive patients. However, I note that reviews of this event are being undertaken to ensure that this situation does not happen again. Whenever an issue arises, clinicians and managers review and make any improvements that may help avoid repetitions of unfortunate events. This is for all things in medicine, not just COVID-19. It is normal practice, and it's why we have such a good health system.
