Ambulance Response

The Hon. T.T. NGO (14:56): I seek leave to make a brief explanation before asking a question of the Minister for Health and Wellbeing about health.

Leave granted.

The Hon. T.T. NGO: On 11 July 2020, Stacey's friend Stephen went for dinner at her Strathalbyn hotel. He was found choking and unable to breathe. Stephen passed away after waiting 32 minutes for an ambulance. My question to the minister is: what does the minister say to Strathalbyn publican Stacey, who has attended parliament today, whose dear friend passed away in her pub while waiting for an ambulance?

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:57): To the lady the honourable member refers to and to all South Australians who don't receive timely care, the government apologises. That is why we are continuing to invest resources, that is why we are continuing to invest in reform, to make sure that the Ambulance Service continues to evolve, continues to meet the needs of South Australians.
