Ambulance Ramping

The Hon. T.T. NGO (15:00): 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?

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (15:00): 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. The other jurisdiction that it is provided for is Western Australia, and that is as a consequence—

The Hon. I.K. Hunter: Why have you stopped it now?

The DEPUTY PRESIDENT: Order!

The Hon. S.G. WADE: —of the fact that the services are provided by a non-government provider.

The Hon. I.K. Hunter: Have you got something to hide?

The DEPUTY PRESIDENT: Order!

The Hon. S.G. WADE: The government's announcement of regular reporting of transfer of care data was on a quarterly basis, and the first distribution was made at the end of December. My expectation is that the end of the next quarter is the end of March.
