Ambulance Ramping

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Leader of the Opposition) (14:25): Supplementary arising from the answer about ramping being the worst it has ever been in this state, Mr President.

Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: Order!

The Hon. S.G. WADE: —to ensure that when the data is available I will make it available to stakeholders who have already asked me for it and anybody else who seeks it.
