I thank Senator Milne for her second supplementary question. It is something I could not confirm. Clearly I am representing the health minister and this is something that was a specific COAG issue raised in 2010. I cannot confirm or deny what the veracity of that is. I am always cautious, however. It is a matter that I will take on notice. I will ask the health minister to have a look at the particular question that has been raised and provide an appropriate answer in response to it.
