    Is the designation of public hospitals as "critical customers" referenced in reply 12093 (2026) a finalised status, or is it still subject to consultation outcomes, given that Phases 3 and 4 of the Fuel Response Plan 2026 were announced as being under consultation on 27 March 2026,?

Answer

I am advised planning for Phases 3 and 4 of the Fuel Response Plan is under development and consultation is ongoing. I am further advised that public hospitals are considered critical fuel customers in the national fuel plan with the right to access priority supply for the purpose of continuing essential functions.
