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) (14:14): Again, here we have it. I don't agree with the question that has been put. I agree there's a shortage of IV fluids, but it is being managed appropriately. I don't agree with the negative slant from those opposite. All they know is how to be negative, how to divide, how to raise fear, how to raise concern and how to raise the temperature. That's all you know. I was just reading a statement from the AMA, which has had to respond because of the level of concern that has been raised in the media. People think that they are not going to be able to access IV fluids. That is not the case. I listen to the AMA before I listen to the opposition when it comes to health matters—that's for sure. They have said the coordinated response— Senator Cash: What do the doctors say? Senator GALLAGHER: They are the doctors, Senator Cash. The AMA is the peak doctors body, and it has acknowledged the coordination efforts on the IV fluid shortages to ensure that patients don't miss out. Some of the stirring and the raising of fear that you have been doing has raised concerns in the community, as it always does in the health area. The AMA has made a statement to reassure the Australian people that the fluid shortages are being handled appropriately, that governments are working together to make sure that no patient is impacted and that, at the same time, all efforts are being used to make sure that if there are ways to alleviate the shortage, it can be done. This was discussed by health ministers on Friday. The matter is in hand. There are processes established across the health system to deal with shortages, and they are being followed. The PRESIDENT: Senator Askew, first supplementary?
