"We are committed to this promise as we are going to perform our oversight functions as expected.

"We will look into areas that people have been making complaints, especially the attitude of the health care providers.

"All hands must be on deck; It is our collective responsibility to ensure that we deliver better health care services to residents".

Olulade, however, assured that committed health providers would be adequately supported and rewarded.

The lawmaker said that all members and principal officers of the House were prepared to ensure access to good health by the public.
