          <by role="member" id="4867">The Hon. T.T. NGO (15:00):</by>  My question is to the Minister for Health and Wellbeing about ramping. What were the total ramping transfer of care hours for January this year, and has the minister seen the ramping statistics? How many patients with COVID have been ramped since the borders opened?</text>

          <by role="member" id="3164">The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (15:00):</by>  The honourable member knows full well that the government that he was part of never released ambulance ramping data. It is this government that is the first government and, from my understanding, the only government in Australia that releases ambulance ramping data.
