MINISTER FOR HEALTH

LEGISLATIVE ASSEMNLY QUESTION

QUESTION No: 436

Ambulance Service

Mr Humphries - asked the Minister for Health, Sport a Industrial

Relations on Notice on 6 August 1991:

1 On what occasions since June 6 have there been less than four ambulances and crews available to response to emergencies in the A.C.T. and surrounding regions?

2 Will the Minister provide a monthly update providing details of occasions when there were less than four ambulances and crews available to respond to emergencies in the A.C.T. if not, why not.

Mr Berry - the answer to Mr Humphries question is as follows:

1 On all occasions since June 6 1991 there have been four onduty ambulances deployed throughout the Territory.

Four on-duty ambulances at any time, is the current agreed crewing level for the service.

2 As the ambulance service has now returned to full operational strength, it is anticipated that the service will not be forced to operate at a level lower than the four on-duty ambulances. Accordingly, I do not consider it necessary to report this operational status on a monthly basis. I of course am monitoring the performance of the service closely.
