Ambulance Ramping

The Hon. N.J. CENTOFANTI (Leader of the Opposition) (14:25): Let's hope this isn't a theme for the day. I seek leave to make a brief explanation before asking the Attorney-General a question about health.

Leave granted.

The Hon. N.J. CENTOFANTI: Just two of the many reports of ramping over the last week include a 94-year-old woman who was forced to wait 3½ hours ramped in an ambulance at the Lyell McEwin Hospital and Robert from Northgate who was 'waiting on cold cement'. He is an elderly man, waiting on cold cement with a broken hip for 4½ hours. My questions to the Attorney-General are:

1. Does he think this is acceptable?

2. When will his government fix ramping?

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector) (14:26): I thank the honourable member for her questions. I will refer them to the appropriate minister and bring back a reply.

The PRESIDENT: The honourable Leader of the Opposition, your third question.
