J.M.A. LENSINK (Minister for Human Services) (15:43):</by>  I have received quite a bit of correspondence from one provider, but the procurement advice that I have received is that ministers shouldn't meet with organisations that are tendering for particular programs. All the tenderers have had a great deal of access to my department to make any of their concerns known.</text>
