SA Ambulance Service

433 Mr PICTON (Kaurna) (3 May 2021). What was the percentage of ambulances that responded to category 3 cases within the recommended 16 minutes (response time performance) during each of the following months:

(a) January 2021?

(b) February 2021?

(c) March 2021?

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL (Dunstan—Premier): I have been advised:

Priority 3 incidents are no longer a part of the Service Level Agreement (SLA) between SA Ambulance Service and the Department for Health and Wellbeing. Response time alone is not considered an appropriate measure for lower acuity cases; clinical indicators are the preferred method of measuring performance of these types of cases.
