SA Ambulance Service

601 Mr PICTON (Kaurna) (24 August 2021). What percentage of category 3 SA ambulance call-outs were reached within 60 minutes over each of the past two financial years?

The Hon. J.A.W. GARDNER (Morialta—Minister for Education): The Minister for Health and Wellbeing has been advised:

SA Ambulance Service (SAAS) does not triage triple zero (000) calls based on categories, rather they are triaged based on priorities.

SAAS tracks priority 3 calls internally as percentages responded to within 30 minutes and does not routinely use 60 minutes as a benchmark for this.
