Influenza Vaccinations

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (14:31): Further supplementary: on what date will doctors and nurses at The Queen Elizabeth Hospital be given access to the flu vaccine, and will that include all other staff who are seeking vaccinations?

Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: It arises out of the original answer.

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:31): Sorry, The Queen Elizabeth Hospital? I beg to differ, sir, but in deference to you I will answer the question.

The PRESIDENT: We spoke on the health system.

Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: I can look after myself, honourable Leader of the Opposition.

The Hon. K.J. Maher interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: I cannot hear the minister.

The Hon. S.G. WADE: Unlike the Leader of the Opposition, I respect the guidance of the Chair. In terms of The Queen Elizabeth Hospital, I will take that on notice.

The PRESIDENT: I know we have had a bit of a break; this is not an opportunity for a casual conversation across the chamber. The Hon. Ms Franks, do you have a point of order?

The Hon. T.A. FRANKS: I had a supplementary, Mr President.

The PRESIDENT: I will give you the call in a moment. I give the call for a supplementary to the Hon. Ms Scriven and then I will give the call to the Hon. Ms Franks for a supplementary.
