SA AMBULANCE SERVICE

29 Dr McFETRIDGE (Morphett) (1 June 2010). Have the $1.2 million in administrative savings to the South Australian Ambulance Service targeted in the 2006-07 Budget been achieved and if so, how was this achieved?

The Hon. J.D. HILL (Kaurna—Minister for Health, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse, Minister for the Southern Suburbs, Minister Assisting the Premier in the Arts): I am advised:

The $1.2 million in administrative savings relates to the administration costs for the SA Ambulance Service Superannuation Fund. The savings have been achieved by moving administration of the SA Ambulance Superannuation Fund from a commercial super fund to Super SA. Super SA has reimbursed SA Ambulance Service for the lower administration fees.
