Ambulance Ramping

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Leader of the Opposition) (14:24): Supplementary arising from the answer: minister, is ramping now worse than it has ever been?

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:24): The fact of the matter is that in recent weeks we have actually had improvements in the indicators—

The Hon. K.J. Maher interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: Leader of the Opposition, you cannot put words into people's mouths. You have a law degree; I know that and you should know that.

The Hon. K.J. Maher: He keeps coming back after misleading, so I'm trying to help him before he makes a mistake again.

The PRESIDENT: Leader of the Opposition, this is not a conversation where you can verbal me or the minister. Minister, please continue.

The Hon. S.G. WADE: As I was trying to explain to the house before the Leader of the Opposition continued with his disrespectful behaviour, the fact of the matter is that there has been some data which has shown improvement in recent weeks. Of course, we will continue to have surge days and we have had surge days early this week.
