The information that the opposition has been given is that it was not on stand-by because SAAS could not have the required trained staff. The Hon. J.J. SNELLING House of Assembly Playford Minister for Health Minister for the Arts Minister for Health Industries Ambus The Hon. J.J. SNELLING (Playford—Minister for Health, Minister for the Arts, Minister for Health Industries) (15:12): No, my advice is that if we had needed to evacuate the Port Pirie hospital, and that was something that we were preparing for because it was a possibility, then the ambus would have been available to transport patients from the Port Pirie hospital to other hospitals for relocation.
