The Senior Minister of State for Health (Dr Janil Puthucheary): Thank you, Sir. I just wanted to offer a clarification to the data provided to Ms He. This referred to the number of unique patients, aged zero to 18, who experienced anaphylactic shock due to food.

I believe I may have misspoken and referred to "admissions" during my answer to her initially. [Please refer to "Tracking and Increasing Public Awareness for Food Allergies in Children", Official Report, 15 October 2024, Vol 95, Issue 143, Oral Answers to Questions section.]
