ACT Ambulance Service—crews
(Question No 2085)

Mrs Jones asked the Minister for Police and Emergency Services, upon notice, on 30 November 2018:

(1) Following the review of the minimum crew level for the ACT Ambulance Service (ACTAS), how will it be determined when ACT Fire and Rescue (ACTFR) crews are required to respond to calls for ACTAS services.

(2) Has the potential impact on ACTFR been considered during the review of ACTAS minimum crewing.

(3) What were these considerations.

(4) Is it expected that greater ACTFR resources will be required following the change in crewing policy.

(5) What additional staff from ACTFR will be required to respond to ACTAS calls for services following this change in crewing policy.

(6) When ACTFR crews are required to respond to ACTAS incidents, are funds or other resources transferred from ACTAS to ACTFR to compensate for the response.

(7) During the review of the policy, which ACT Government directorates and agencies were consulted.

(8) What consultation with ACTFR was undertaken and what were the outcomes of these consultations.

Mr Gentleman: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:

1. ACT Fire & Rescue (ACTF&R) will attend a medical assist if they are the closest unit in the area or if the ACT Ambulance Service (ACTAS) has requested assistance. This requirement has not changed following the review of the minimum crew level for ACTAS.
