Legislative Council Fifty-Fourth Parliament, First Session (54-1) 54 1 Parliament of South Australia Legislative Council published Question Time Ambulance Ramping Ambulance Ramping The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN Legislative Council Ambulance Ramping The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (15:11): A further supplementary: given this extreme ramping, what consideration is the minister giving to demands from paramedics for more SA Ambulance resources to address slower response times? The Hon. S.G. WADE Legislative Council Minister for Health and Wellbeing Ambulance Ramping The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (15:12): The member's question is suggesting that there is a need for additional resources in the South Australian Ambulance Service. The chief executive of the Ambulance Service made a comment last week that indications are that SAAS is not under-resourced at the moment: We are currently working on a resourcing plan for SAAS going forward but let's be clear, resourcing is not the answer for ramping because theoretically you only get more resources on the ramp. We need our whole health system working together to get people to the help they need and get them home again quickly and safely.
