          <by role="member" id="3164">The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:53):</by>  I certainly will need to take it on notice but I might actually, with your indulgence, Mr President, just clarify the question so I am coming back with the right answer. Is the honourable member's question: since we have introduced rapid antigen testing for truck drivers, how many of those rapid antigen tests turned out to be wrong once we got the PCR result back?</text>

Let's put it this way, every time you have a false negative, that would have been the risk of an outbreak.</text>
