SA Ambulance Service

Mr PICTON (Kaurna) (14:36): My question is to the Premier. Premier, how many ambulances were enough to serve the southern suburbs between the Adelaide CBD and Victor Harbor last night?

The Hon. V.A. Chapman interjecting:

The SPEAKER: The Deputy Premier is warned. The minister has the call.

The Hon. D.C. VAN HOLST PELLEKAAN (Stuart—Minister for Energy and Mining) (14:37): I have addressed that question quite a few times—

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!

The Hon. D.C. VAN HOLST PELLEKAAN: —and, in fact—

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Member for Elizabeth, you can leave for the remainder of question time under 137A.

The honourable member for Elizabeth having withdrawn from the chamber:

The Hon. D.C. VAN HOLST PELLEKAAN: —at the very end of my last answer, I said that I would do my best to satisfy the shadow minister, I would go and try to get a very specific answer, a specific number from the Minister for Health and Wellbeing, so that I can try to help him. That was the end of my last answer, and then his very next question was exactly the same question all over again. I am not sure what it is the opposition is trying to create here, what concerns they are trying to provide to people. I am not sure what else I can do to provide useful information, but I am more than happy to answer more questions.
