Premier, why was a schoolchild suffering a seizure yesterday left to wait for more than two hours for an ambulance yesterday morning? With your leave, sir, and that of the house, I will explain.</text>

          <by role="member" id="4841">Mr PICTON:</by>  This morning the child's father, Geoff, phoned ABC radio, when the Premier was being interviewed, revealing his son had a seizure at school yesterday morning. An ambulance was called but the son was left to wait two hours and 13 minutes for an ambulance to arrive.</text>

          <by role="member" id="4343">The Hon. J.A.W. GARDNER (Morialta—Minister for Education) (14:45):</by>  I thank the member for the question. The member has raised an incident, obviously. The member has identified that it was reported on radio this morning. I will seek information from the Minister for Health as to what is appropriate to share in relation to the details of that incident, if there are any particular matters that are relevant to that particular case that are appropriate for sharing with the house and I will bring back that answer to the house.</text>
