Minister for Health, Education & Arts

A.C.T. Legislative Assembly

1 Constitution Avenue

CANBERRA ACT 2600

Dear Minister,

Re: A.C.T. Ambulance Service Crewing

In response to your request I have forwarded the attached copies of our ambulance case-slips relating to ambulance attendance at a number of public sporting events during the last months of 1989.

The attached cases were attended by on-duty rostered ambulance crews.

The above is consistent with operational management procedure which has been in place since mid -1988 which provides for the on-duty Supervising Officer to use his discretion to utilise available on-duty restated staff to attend public sporting events, or to supplement these crews with additional staff being called on-duty, on an overtime basis. There Is no policy restriction on the Supervising Officers discretionary function.
