263. Hon
JAMES HAYWARD to the Leader of the House representing the Minister for
Health:
I
refer to the WA government's commendable decision to provide free rapid
antigen test kits to the Western Australian community.
(1) Of the 30
million RAT kits that the government has received to date, how many have not
been distributed at this point in time?
(2) What are the approximate expiry
dates for the RAT kits currently held by the government?
(3) When will the government
receive the additional 80 million RAT kits it has ordered?
(4) Is the government concerned it
may have overestimated the community demand for RAT kits?
