Ambulance ramping
8. Ms Libby Mettam to the Minister for Health :
I have a
supplementary question. Given this is an important issue, what is the benchmark
and when can we expect it will be met?

AnswerView source ↗

As I said, the
causes are complex. We are working with a complex set of issues that are having
an impact on it. As the member knows, ramping is measured. Those figures are
publicly available. We are entirely transparent about them. They are publicly
available.
Ms Libby Mettam interjected.
The Speaker: Member for Vasse!
Several members
interjected.
The Speaker: Members! The minister has the call.
Ms Meredith Hammat: Member, the figures are publicly
available. They are updated regularly. I get regular reports about them.
Ms Libby Mettam interjected.
The Speaker: Member for Vasse.
Mr Basil Zempilas interjected.
The Speaker: Leader of the Opposition! Members do not
talk when the Speaker is talking. Carry on, minister.
Ms Meredith Hammat: Thank you, Mr Speaker. As I was
saying, there are figures that are publicly available. We have a plan that we
are working on. I am really proud to be part of a government that takes this
issue seriously and I am really proud to be part of the team that is going to
make a difference in this area.
