Health Minister Atonio Lalabalavu has declined to comment on the contents of the Commission of Inquiry report, saying his focus was on pressing health sector issues.

When asked about the report, Dr Lalabalavu said he had a lot on his plate with regards to the health sector which was his primary focus.

“Also, I don’t know what the COI report is about,” he said, adding that it had nothing to do with the Ministry of Health.

He said he supported the Prime Minister with any action he may take with regards to the report.

“I will always support Mr Rabuka,” he added.

The minister declined to comment when asked about perceived divisions within the coalition after the release of the COI report.
