In oral questions, National MP Melissa Lee again wanted to ask the minister if she stood by all her answers to oral and written questions. Ms Lee sought leave to hold over her questions until Ms Curran was present but her request was denied. Labour Cabinet minister Megan Woods answered questions on her behalf. When asked if Ms Curran stood by all her answers to oral and written questions, Dr Woods simply answered, ``Yes''. Ms Curran did not respond to calls and her staff have told media she would not be available today either.
