Answer
I am advised that officials are preparing a health system fuel response plan as part of the All of Government response to the National Fuel Plan. To prepare, officials have been engaging with the health sector to support development of the health system response. Most or all health services are expected to be categorised as critical services and would be prioritised for fuel allocation with no caps under the National Fuel Plan.
