Ambulance Ramping

Mr PICTON (Kaurna) (14:43): My question is to the Premier. Can the Premier confirm that between 6.30pm and 9.30pm last night there were 60 ambulances that were ramped for over 30 minutes at our public hospitals?

The Hon. D.C. VAN HOLST PELLEKAAN (Stuart—Minister for Energy and Mining) (14:43): I have tried to get some information for the shadow and for the house, and I have actually been told that almost all of this information is public on dashboards, so I did commit to—

The Hon. Z.L. Bettison: So you'd know the answer then.

The SPEAKER: The member for Ramsay is called to order.

The Hon. D.C. VAN HOLST PELLEKAAN: —go back to the Minister for Health and Wellbeing to get some more information, and I am still happy to do that, but it does appear that the member for Kaurna could help himself by looking some of this information up and avoid asking these questions here. Anything that he has asked that is not available publicly or not something that he has already requested via FOIs, which I am told he has said himself he is soon to receive, if there is anything that is outside of that information that is publicly available, easily accessible or he already has on the way to him that he has asked about, then I will certainly, as I said I would, get that information for him from the Minister for Health and Wellbeing.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: The member for Mawson is called to order, as is the member for Reynell.
