AnswerView source ↗

On behalf of the Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister for Health, I thank the honourable member for some notice of this question. The review contained detailed commercial-in-confidence information from both St John Ambulance and other private ambulance services in Western Australia. A copy of the implementation report based on the review, but without the commercial-in-confidence information, was provided to all parties. It was tabled in Parliament on Thursday, 27 March 1997, by the then Minister for Health, Hon Kevin Prince.
