Transfer of Care Data

In reply to Mrs HURN (Schubert) (30 June 2023). (Estimates Committee B)

The Hon. C.J. PICTON (Kaurna—Minister for Health and Wellbeing): I have been advised:

The final full calendar year of the Labor Weatherill government was 2017 and reported 4,811 hours lost due to delayed transfer of care.

The final full calendar year of the former Marshall Liberal government was 2021 and reported 28,159 hours lost due to delayed transfer of care.

Therefore, the Marshall Liberal government oversaw an increase of 485 per cent in ambulance ramping and in spite of those numbers, were still issuing voluntary separation packages to frontline nurses while failing to invest in growing bed capacity.
