Hon Deputy Speaker, let me firstly remind hon member Singh that we are not registering the 18-year-olds yet. We are still dealing with those who have reached 16 years of age. We are moving incrementally towards 18. But yes, there has been a challenge stemming from the inability to get the necessary documentation for some of the children so that they can actually register.
This department and the Department of Home Affairs have come up - we've been working together for quite some time now - with a process or a mechanism that ensures you can use alternative documents, or supporting documents, for identification of whatever sort. We have a set of agreed documents that can be used so that the children or the young mothers or people who still need access to IDs will have these alternative documents.
There is a whole set of things that we are using to make IDs available so that our children or the mothers - the beneficiaries - can be registered and their children can get these funds. If there is a problem anywhere, we would have to attend to it. We would love to know of specific cases. Thank you very much.
Investigation into concerns regarding use of Tamiflu vaccine
77. Mrs C Dudley (ACDP) asked the Minister of Health:
(1) Whether he will institute an investigation into concerns with regard to using the Tamiflu vaccine in the national swine flu immunisation campaign which starts on 15 March 2010, after it was withdrawn in America because of dangerous side effects; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details;
(2) whether he will take any measures to ensure that the public is informed regarding the risks before the immunisation campaigns begin; if not, why not; if so, what measures?
