\u201cAs usual the Minister\u2019s been given the run around by his bureaucrats whose incompetence continues to erode our health system.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe current score card, here it is. Flinders Medical: awaiting supplies to immunise 5,000 of the 7,000 staff. At Lyell McEwin and Modbury some staff will have to wait until late May to be immunised, meanwhile our parliamentarians had their shots two weeks ago\u2026<\/p>\n
\u201cSA Health say there\u2019s no shortage. If you go to a doc and he puts you on a waiting list it matters not if SA Heath say, well, this is incidental and they\u2019ll play semantics with words. There is a shortage of these vaccinations. There is a shortage.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Former president of the AMA Dr Peter Ford told Leon:<\/p>\n
\u201cIn our experience the supply of the government-funded vaccines has been rationed.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve been applying each week for the last three weeks for 300 doses and only supplied in one case 60, later that was modified to 170, but we haven\u2019t been able to get as many as we would like to provide to our patients.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
