AMBULANCE RAMPING
190. Mr S.K. L'ESTRANGE to the Minister for Health:
I
have a supplementary question. Noting that WEAT targets will improve if people
cannot get into emergency departments, the minister said that the buck stops

ward bed spaces and staff that are required for our hospital sector to deal
with this obvious increase in demand?
