Influenza Vaccinations

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (14:36): A further supplementary: is the minister aware that ambulance paramedics have had difficulties getting access to flu vaccines due to cancelled clinics because of ramping and lack of resources?

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:36): The honourable member's question reminds me of the advice of the honourable Minister for Human Services, which is, 'Never believe what a Labor member asserts in a question.'

Members interjecting:

The Hon. S.G. WADE: No, no, the honourable member's question has a vague similarity to comments made by a union leader earlier today, a person I respect. I sought advice from the Ambulance Service and I was advised that there was one day where the clinic was not able to be delivered because of staff sickness. I am not aware of any other disruptions to that immunisation service.
