          <by role="member" id="3122">The Hon. I.K. HUNTER (15:21):</by>  Supplementary arising from the minister's original answer: the minister said that notifications of influenza are delayed because of the manner of their lodgement of the notifications. Will the minister advise the chamber how many days or weeks behind are notifications to his health agency and subsequently to his office?</text>

We inherited a non-IT-based notification program. In 16 years of Labor we didn't have an influenza vaccination program for under fives. We had basically the notification scheme that we have now.</text>
