Legislative Council Fifty-Fourth Parliament, First Session (54-1) 54 1 Parliament of South Australia Legislative Council published Question Time KordaMentha KordaMentha The Hon. J.E. HANSON Legislative Council KordaMentha The Hon. J.E. HANSON (15:14): A further supplementary: given that the minister has outlined that he does expect improved patient outcomes from the administrator KordaMentha's cuts to our health system, can the minister now guarantee that those cuts to our health system will reduce ambulance ramping and not make it worse? The Hon. S.G. WADE Legislative Council Minister for Health and Wellbeing KordaMentha The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (15:14): I am trying to show the member some respect by not correcting his polemics in every question. I go back to the answer that I gave earlier to one of his colleagues in relation to the CEO of CALHN and her objective to see the Royal Adelaide Hospital operating at 6 per cent to 8 per cent available capacity. The inevitable consequence of that is that there will be more beds from which emergency physicians can admit people from the EDs into the hospital, and therefore there will be more treatment bays in the ED available for ambulance officers to put people. So the expectation will be that, yes, there will be less ambulance ramping.
