Senator GALLAGHER (Australian Capital Territory—Minister for the Public Service, Minister for Finance, Minister for Women, Manager of Government Business in the Senate and Vice-President of the Executive Council) (14:00): I thank Senator Ruston for the question. I know you'd like to blame everything that happens around the world on the Albanese government, but I think it is a bit of a stretch to say that the shortage of IV fluids, which has affected a number of countries around the world, is the fault of the Albanese government. We have put in place a number of steps to ensure that appropriate management of the shortage of IV fluids is managed as you would expect, and this is really common practice— Senator McKenzie interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Minister Gallagher, please resume your seat. Senator McKenzie, I do not intend to call you to attention the whole of question time. Minister Gallagher, please continue. Senator GALLAGHER: These matters are managed, and they're managed very effectively in the health system, as they are across a wide range of medications should there be a shortage. There are well-established mechanisms to manage these shortages, and the health minister met with his colleagues on Friday. They released a joint statement on IV fluid shortages, including the steps being taken to address supply in Australia by the national IV fluid response group as well as reassurance to the Australian public that health services are continuing. I know the TGA, as I said last week, is also managing a number of steps to ensure that we are doing everything we can to increase supply of fluids for use across our hospital and health system, and all of those steps are being done as well. Of all the systems there are, the health system manages shortage of supply of certain medications—in this case, IV fluids. They have well-established systems. They do so appropriately and so they can continue to operate the services that the Australian people expect. The PRESIDENT: Senator Ruston, first supplementary?
