SA Ambulance Service

The Hon. J.E. HANSON (16:02): I seek leave to make a brief explanation before asking a question of the Minister for Health and Wellbeing regarding health.

Leave granted.

The Hon. J.E. HANSON: On Friday afternoon, a schoolgirl was taken to the Flinders Medical Centre in a crew car after staff were told it would take four hours for an ambulance to arrive. This schoolgirl had collapsed with heart issues. My question to the minister is: does the minister think it's acceptable for a schoolgirl with a cardiac condition to wait four hours for an ambulance to arrive?

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (16:03): I don't believe this case has been brought to my attention. I will seek details on it.

The Hon. E.S. Bourke interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: The Hon. Ms Bourke, be silent.
