          <by role="member" id="5244">The Hon. J.E. HANSON (15:07):</by>  My question is to the Minister for Health and Wellbeing, regarding health. What does the minister have to say to Robyn Adams, a 61 year old who is reported to have waited eight hours before receiving treatment at the RAH for blood clots that developed after receiving a COVID vaccine? Does the minister have a response or does the minister yet again have no info about cases that are widely reported in the media?</text>

          <by role="member" id="3164">The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (15:08):</by>  I thank the honourable member for his question. I apologise to the patient and her husband for their recent experience at the Royal Adelaide Hospital. The Central Adelaide Local Health Network also apologises for the delay in treatment and understands this would have been distressing to both the patient and her family. The patient has been clinically assessed and has received treatment, which has included being seen by a clinician in a CALHN specialist vaccination clinic to offer further counselling and advice. This consultation and advice will continue to be provided for as long as it's needed.</text>

The Central Adelaide Local Health Network reports all adverse events following immunisation to the Therapeutic Goods Administration.</text>
