Parliament: 41 Session: 1

CORONAVIRUS — RAPID ANTIGEN TESTS

684. Hon JAMES HAYWARD to the Leader of the House representing the Minister for Health:

I refer to the procurement of rapid antigen test kits by the Department of Health for use in the public health system.

(1) What is the total number and total value of RAT kits purchased by the Department of Health as at 30 June 2022?

(2) In relation to the RAT kits procured by the Department of Health referred to in (1), can the minister provide the following detail —

(a) what number of each RAT kit variant was ordered and what were the names of those variants;

(b) on what date were they ordered; and

(c) from which supplier were they ordered?

(3) Were the RAT kits ordered by the Department of Health a subset of the 110.7 million RAT kits that were announced by the state government in February 2022?

Hon SUE ELLERY replied:

(1) The WA health system has purchased 85 728 650 rapid antigen tests at a cost of $441 569 305.

The rest of the answer is in tabular form, so I seek leave to have the response incorporated into Hansard.
