Will the minister outline his position on expanding the administration of the flu vaccine to seniors by pharmacists under the National Immunisation Program?</text>

          <by role="member" id="3164">The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:42):</by>  In terms of the National Immunisation Program, I should stress that relates to the commonwealth-funded program rather than the state-funded program. There is no proposal before me that I'm aware of; I am certainly happy to take that on notice and check, but I'm not aware of a proposal before me for seniors to have vaccinations by pharmacists.</text>
