10. Question No. 10—COVID-19 ResponseCHRIS BISHOP (National) to the Minister for COVID-19 ResponseQuestion No. 10—COVID-19 Response10. CHRIS BISHOP (National) to the Minister for COVID-19 Response: What percentage of people living in residential care have not had at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine and is he satisfied with the vaccine roll-out in New Zealand?Hon CHRIS HIPKINS (Minister for COVID-19 Response): The number of people in residential care is not static so a specific percentage is impossible to calculate with accuracy. However I can confirm that of the 668 aged residential care facilities across the country all but seven facilities have received at least their first dose of the vaccine. DHBs are working closely with the remaining seven facilities who are scheduled to receive their first dose of the vaccine in the coming weeks. In regards to the second part of the member's question yes.Chris Bishop: Why has Canterbury the country's second-biggest region by population only administered 7310 doses to those in group 3 as per the numbers he's released today when down the road the South Canterbury DHB has delivered more?Hon CHRIS HIPKINS: I can confirm that people who live in aged residential care facilities are in fact in group 2 rather than group 3 so in reference to the primary question it is irrelevant.Chris Bishop: Point of order Mr Speaker. That does not address the question at all and it's well within the scope because the second leg of the primary—is he satisfied with the vaccine roll-out in New Zealand?"—I asked about group 3 in Canterbury and South Canterbury.SPEAKER: OK. It's been long established in the House that if the member wants a specific answer he should put down a specific question and having a general throwaway "is he satisfied" is not enough to get the Minister to bring that level of detail to the House.Hon Gerry Brownlee: But it's OK for him to go on TV and talk about it?SPEAKER: Thank you for your support Mr Brownlee. Chris Bishop: Why has the Canterbury DHB only administered just over 7000 doses to those in group 3 of the vaccine roll-out?Hon CHRIS HIPKINS: It is fair to say that the size of the population in groups 1 and 2 is different in each DHB level and that will have an impact on the number of doses they've delivered in group 3.Chris Bishop: Why are there still National Health Index number matching problems for the vaccination status of border workers and how many are in the unvaccinated group that he said today the Government was still chasing down?Hon CHRIS HIPKINS: My understanding is that as the team have looked through the individual records of people who are showing up in the border worker testing register as unvaccinated they have found that some of those workers have been vaccinated but that the data isn't matching correctly to pull through their vaccination register into the border worker testing register. They're working to resolve that issue and where possible to manually match to ensure that the border worker testing register is as up to date as possible.Chris Bishop: So how many workers are there at the front line working at the border who have not been vaccinated?Hon CHRIS HIPKINS: It sits somewhere around about 15 percent of the overall active workers on the border worker testing register."
