SA AMBULANCE SERVICE

105 Dr McFETRIDGE (Morphett) (29 June 2010). What measures have or will be introduced within the South Australian Ambulance Service as part of the implementation of the Efficiency Review conducted by Ernst Young?

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 Efficiency Review conducted by Ernst and Young recommended that an integrated model for service delivery of Finance and Workforce service across SA Health be developed.

Finance and Workforce structures have now been aligned across the health system and this includes SA Ambulance Service. Finance and Workforce Divisions provide services which reduce duplication, and introduce greater standardisation and support.
