Parliamentary Questions


Question Without Notice No. 971 asked in the Legislative Council on 17 September 2020 by Hon Martin Aldridge

Parliament: 40 Session: 1

HEALTH — AMBULANCE RAMPING

971. Hon MARTIN ALDRIDGE to the parliamentary secretary representing the Minister for Health:

I refer to Legislative Council question on notice 2894 and correspondence I received from the minister on 5 March 2020 and the minister's commitment to report data on regional ramping.

(1) Will the minister fulfil his commitment to reporting on regional ramping?

(2) If yes to (1), when will reporting commence?

(3) If no to (1), why will the government no longer commit to reporting on regional ramping?

Hon ALANNA CLOHESY replied:

I thank the honourable member for some notice of the question.

(1) The Department of Health is committed to reporting on transfer of care, not ambulance ramping, for all regions within Western Australia for which information is available.

(2)–(3) The Department of Health is currently involved in active contract negotiations with St John Ambulance. It is not appropriate to provide a response on matters pertaining to these processes at this time.
