Ambulance Services

The Hon. I. PNEVMATIKOS (14:39): My question is to the Minister for Health and Wellbeing. Has the government encouraged the Ambulance Employees Association to consider negotiating away workers' conditions, such as giving up meal breaks, as a method of increasing staff levels to address the ramping issue?

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:39): The Treasurer, as Minister for Industrial Relations, is having discussions with the Ambulance Employees Association. I will take the honourable member's question on notice and refer it to the honourable Treasurer.
