ST JOHN AMBULANCE — DRIVER TRAINING
684. Hon ED DERMER to the minister representing the Minister
for Health:
I refer to the St John Ambulance service.
(1) How many traffic accidents have St John ambulances been
involved in during 2012 to date?
(2) How many
of these accidents occurred during normal driving circumstances and how many
occurred when responding to emergency situations?
(3) What
permission is required by St John Ambulance to exceed the speed limit, run red
lights or go through stop signs, and under what circumstances is this
permission granted?
(4) What is
the minimum level of driver training St John paid paramedics are required to
hold, and are St John volunteers required to have the same level of driver
training?
(5) What
on-the-job driver training does St John provide for its paramedic staff, and
are there any plans to increase the level of driver training required?
