House of Assembly Fifty-Fourth Parliament, Second Session (54-2) 54 2 Parliament of South Australia House of Assembly published Question Time SA Ambulance Service SA Ambulance Service Mr PICTON House of Assembly Kaurna SA Ambulance Service Mr PICTON (Kaurna) (15:08): My question is to the Premier. What is the Premier's response to a case late last year of a pregnant victim of assault where SA Police had to take them to hospital because an ambulance didn't turn up? With your leave and that of the house, I will explain. Leave granted. Mr PICTON House of Assembly Mr PICTON: The SA Ambulance 'Safety Learning System incident review: ambulance delays' report reveals that there was a case of a 22-year-old female who was four weeks pregnant and was punched in the stomach. After a 35-minute wait, an ambulance did not come, and SA Police had to take that patient to the hospital themselves in a patrol car instead of waiting further for an ambulance. The Hon. J.A.W. GARDNER House of Assembly Morialta Minister for Education The Hon. J.A.W. GARDNER (Morialta—Minister for Education) (15:08): I thank the member for the question. Obviously, any incident of the nature that the member identifies, any assault, is appalling and, of course, every sympathy on a human level goes to the victim of any such crime. In relation to the government response through the services that we provide, I refer the member to my previous answer in which I outlined the important work that the government has done to shine a light on some of the challenges through commissioning consideration of the report that the member has identified. Again, as per the previous answer, I will bring back an answer to the house in relation to the recommendations from the Minister for Health as the member sought about three questions ago. The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: Before I call the member for Florey, I warn for a second time the member for Wright.
