Ambulance Ramping

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (14:24): 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. C.M. SCRIVEN: The Ambulance Employees Association yesterday evening reported that an 84-year-old woman was, at that point, on the Flinders Medical Centre ramp for three hours 50 minutes and counting. The association described the situation as 'elder abuse'. My question to the minister is: can the minister explain why an 84-year-old woman was left to wait more than four hours on the ramp at Flinders Medical Centre after suffering a fall?

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:25): I don't have details on that case.

Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: The Hon. Ms Bourke has the call and her own backbench will help her if they remain silent.
