Ambus

In reply to Dr McFETRIDGE (Morphett) (18 October 2016).

The Hon. J.J. SNELLING (Playford—Minister for Health, Minister for the Arts, Minister for Health Industries): I am advised:

Originally, eight staff were trained for the trial and initial operations of the AmBus. They operated as two dedicated AmBus crews overseen by two Patient Transport Services Team Leaders. An extra thirteen staff have now been selected to work on the AmBus and will receive the required heavy rigid vehicle licensing and SAAS driver training. Staff must also undergo clinical, manual tasks and operational training to operate in the AmBus.
