Ms Meredith Hammat replied:We want to see a
reduction in ramping; I think we have been very clear about that. One of the
things in a system as big as the Western Australian health system is that it is
not going to happen overnight. We have made investments. We are going further
with the election commitments that we have made. There is more to do, and we
are getting on with the job of delivering for the people of Western Australia.
