SA Ambulance Service

22 The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Leader of the Opposition) (29 May 2018). Is the government committed to the existing plans for purchasing new SA Ambulance fleet and if not, what changes have been made?

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing): I have been advised:

I have been advised by SA Ambulance Service (SAAS) that it is currently funded for and operates with 250 ambulances. SAAS has a current contract with Mercedes-Benz, and places regular orders each year. I understand SAAS is currently in the process of procuring a replacement contract which is at the evaluation stage.
